Battery

Never attempt to repair your battery. Specialists
are responsible for performing such repairs. If
your battery is damaged, contact your specialist
cycle shop. The specialists here will discuss the
next steps with you.
Never transport damaged batteries. The safety
of damaged batteries cannot be guaranteed.
Scratches and small chips in the housing do not
constitute serious damage.
Have the battery checked at a specialist cycle
shop if you have fallen of your Pedelec. You
must also consult your specialist cycle shop
if the battery has fallen or fallen of. Damaged
batteries must neither be charged nor used for
another application.
During the charging process, the battery
and charger must be placed on an even,
non-lammable surface. Battery and charger
must not be covered. There must be no highly
combustible materials in the immediate vicin-
ity. This also applies when charging the battery
on the Pedelec. In this case, you must place the
Pedelec so as to prevent any ire rom spreading
quickly (exercise caution with carpeted loors!).
Lithium reacts very strongly upon direct contact
with water. Caution is therefore required in the
case of damaged batteries which have become
wet: They may catch ire.
Water should be used to extinguish any lames in
the immediate vicinity, but not the battery itself.
Extinguishers with metal ire powder (Class D)
are better suited to this task. If the battery can
be safely moved outdoors, the ire can also be
sufocated using sand.
The battery may heat up during charging. A
maximum temperature of 45°C may be reached.
If the battery becomes any warmer than this,
suspend the charging process immediately.
The Pedelec operates using extra-low voltage
(36 volts). Never attempt to operate the Pedelec
using power rom a source other than a suitable
genuine battery. The designations of approved
batteries are listed in ¡ Chapter 12 "Technical
data". Only use the original charger provided!
When removing the battery rom your Pedelec,
ensure that it does not fall out. This may cause
irreparable damage to the battery housing.

ascents. Be careul not to touch it with your
hands, feet or legs. You could burn yourself.
