2.2.3 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 24 hours.
Ensure that the recharging of the battery pack occurs within the temperature
limits of 0 ºC and 45 ºC. This extends the life and increases the performance
of the battery pack.
Recharge the battery pack after using the bicycle. The battery pack does not
have to be entirely empty before recharging it. The battery pack remains in
good condition when you recharge it after each use, regardless of the
distance.
Always remove the display after using the bicycle. The display consumes
energy even during sleep mode. For more information, see paragraph 2.2.4.
A battery pack that is empty and not recharged can become defective.
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 Instructions for storage after use
To prevent damage to your battery, it is important to store your bicycle properly. This
table shows how to do this for two situations.
Situation 1: Storing the disconnected battery;
Situation 2: Storing the battery inside the chain guard.
