3. Battery life
Batteries can suffer from ageing in their performance after
a large number of charges. This will depend on the usage
patterns of the power-assisted bicycle.
You must dispose of your used batteries at your local store
or specialised recycling depot. Most importantly, do not
throw your end of life battery into the environment.
4. Battery maintenance
To ensure maximum battery life and protect it from damage, please
follow the use and care instructions below:
When you notice that the charge drops to 10%, the battery needs to be
charged quickly.
RECOMMENDATION: if the bicycle is not used frequently
over a period of time, the battery should be fully charged
every month. The battery case must be stored in a dry,
protected place, at a temperature between 5 and 35°C.
WARNING:
•
•
Do not continue to charge the battery if the charge
is not complete after the theoretical charging time.
Do not use the battery if it emits an unusual smell,
becomes unusually hot or if something seems
abnormal.
Keep the battery out of the reach of children.
Charge your battery before a prolonged period of
storage and repeat this operation after the storage
period.
The battery life may be reduced if it is in storage
for a long time without regular charging as
described above.
Do not use any metal to directly connect two poles
of the battery as this could cause it to short circuit.
