Recharger And Battery Protection; Recommendations For Maintenance And Storage - Batavus E-go Guide D'utilisation

2.2.3 The recharger and battery protection
• Recharge the battery pack once fully until the indicator light turns green before using the
bicycle for the first time.
• Do not allow a fully recharged battery pack to stay in the recharger for more than 12 hours.
• The battery pack does not need to be entirely empty before recharging. The battery pack is
kept in good condition by recharging it after each time you use the bicycle (irrespective of
the distance).
• In the case of lengthy storage: fully recharge the battery pack and disconnect the battery
pack from the recharger within 12 hours. Recharge the battery pack at least once every two
months.
• Ensure that the recharging of the battery pack occurs within the temperature limits
(between 0 ºC and 45 ºC). This extends the life and increases the performance of the battery
pack.
Every battery runs down over time. This process is called 'self-discharge'. So-called deep
discharge occurs when the battery discharges too much. Deep discharge can permanently
damage the battery pack.
The guarantee lapses if it is determined that deep discharge has occurred.

2.2.4 Recommendations for maintenance and storage

• Keep the battery in a cool dry place.
• Always keep the battery in a room that is adequately ventilated. Avoid contact with sunlight.
• Fully recharge the battery at least every two months. This conserves the quality of the
battery if stored for a lengthy period.
Do not clean the bicycle with a high-pressure spraying pistol. A too powerful jet of water
may damage the motor's electronics. This will make the guarantee null and void.
