Battery and charging

Hazard warnings:
Batteries must not be short-circuited.
Batteries must not be stored in such a way
that presents a hazardous situation, such as
in a packet or drawer where they could
short-circuit each other or be short-
circuited by other conductive materials.
Batteries must not be subjected to
mechanical impacts.
Never submerge the battery in water.
Batteries that are not designed for use
with the pedelec must not be used.
Keep batteries away from children.
Refrain from further use of batteries and
chargers if damaged (connector, housing,
cable).
Do not use chargers other than those
specifically intended for use with the
downtube battery. Use of any other
charger could lead to malfunctions,
reduced service life or fire and explosions.
Avoid any contact with or ingestion of
fluid. In the event of leaking vapours,
ensure a good supply of fresh air. Leaking
fluid or vapours could lead to skin
irritation. In case of accidental contact, the
fluid should be rinsed away with plenty of
water. Seek medical attention in case of
serious irritation, ingestion of fluid,
irritation of airways or contact with eyes.
Battery use
First use/commissioning
Note: With new rechargeable batteries,
there is a possibility that not all LEDs will
light up during the initial charge cycles. The
lithium ion cells do not reach their full
capacity until after the first few charge and
discharge cycles. In addition, the
management system (inside the battery
housing) needs to calibrate itself first,
which takes place automatically during the
first charge and discharge cycles.
On purchasing a new battery and after a
relatively long period out of use, the battery
will be in transport mode and no longer
active.
Press the pushbutton on the charge state
indicator of the battery. The LEDs light up
one by one until all LEDs are lit for a short
time. This indicates that the battery has been
in transport mode (deep-sleep mode).

battery
When the pushbutton is pressed again, one to
four LEDs light up, depending on the battery
charge level.
If the battery does not wake up, the cell
voltage might be too low. In this case, connect
the charger and press the LED pushbutton.
The battery will then be charged for one
minute.
