Components: function and handling
Battery safety instructions
Do not open the battery due to the danger of a short circuit. If the battery is opened, all
•
warranty claims are void.
Protect your battery from heat (including constant solar radiation), fire and immersion
•
in water. Do not store or operate the battery near hot or flammable objects. There is a
risk of explosion.
Keep the unused battery away from paper clips, coins, keys, nails, screws or other
•
small metal objects that could bridge the contacts. A short circuit between the battery
contacts can result in burns or fire. In the event of short-circuit damage arising in this
way, any claim under the warranty will be void.
Avoid mechanical stress, shocks or exposure to intense heat. This could damage the
•
battery cells and lead to the escape of flammable substances.
Do not place the charger and the battery near flammable materials. Only charge the
•
battery when it is dry and in a location that is safe from fire. There is a risk of fire due
to the heating that occurs during charging.
The E-Bike battery must not be left unattended while charging.
•
If used incorrectly, liquid may leak from the battery. Avoid contact with this liquid. In
•
case of accidental contact, rinse with water. If the liquid gets into your eyes, also seek
medical attention. Leaking battery fluid can cause skin irritation or burns.
Vapours can escape if the battery is damaged or used incorrectly. Ensure plenty of
•
fresh air and seek medical attention if symptoms occur. The vapours can irritate the
respiratory tract.
Only charge the battery with suitable original chargers. A fire hazard cannot be ruled
•
out when using non-original chargers.
Only use the battery in conjunction with the matching original drive system. This is the
•
only way to protect the battery from dangerous overloading.
Do not use the carrier battery as a handle. Lifting your E-Bike by the battery can
•
damage the battery.
Keep the battery away from children.
•
Never send off the battery yourself! A battery is classed as hazardous material and
•
can overheat and catch fire under certain conditions.
