Note on Charging
NOTE
The temperature of the Battery must be within the permissible charging
temperature range (0 °C to 40 °C / 32 °F to 104 °F). Otherwise the charging
process will not be started.
— The drive system is deactivated during the charging process.
— The state of charge of the Battery can be read on the Display. (It is also
possible to check the state of charge directly on the Battery on the 5
LEDs. Cover the light sensor next to the LEDs with a finger briefly to acti-
vate this indication).
— The state of charge of the Range Extender can be read on the Display and
on the 5 LEDs on the side of the Range Extender.
— New batteries have a charge level of 20% to 30% due to transportation
regulations and must be recharged within less than 6 months of manufac-
ture.
— The Battery should be recharged immediately after complete discharge
(state of charge <5 %).
— 1 charge cycle can consist of a full charge of the Battery capacity (0%
to 100%) or several partial charges that add up to 100% of the charge
capacity.
— The Battery capacity should be at least 60% after 500 charging cycles.
— Derating: In case the Battery capacity gets almost empty (approx. <10%)
during riding the sytems switches automatically to mode I.

Transport
— The transport of lithium batteries is subject to country-specific laws and
regulations. Inform yourself about the respective regional regulations and
observe them during transport.
— For transport observe the special requirements for packaging and labeling
that apply in your country.
— Contact a TQ authorized bicycle dealer for information on transporting the
Battery and suitable transport packaging. For transport outside the bicycle
frame, we recommend a certified transport box.
