will go out. The charging time varies,
depending on the capacity of the battery
and the charging current of the charger.

unplug the mains plug from the socket first
and then disconnect the charging cable from
the battery.
Removing the battery
Attention! Switch the system off
at the control button before you
disconnect the system's power cable from
the battery. Failure to do this could result
in damage to system electronics or the
contacts of electrical connections.
To remove the battery, open the lock using
the key (1). The barrel now pops out. The
battery can be removed. To do this, slide it
forwards (2) and then lift it up and out (3).
Refrain from removing the battery during a
ride.

Fitting the battery
Place the battery on the mounting rail and
slide it into position. Once the battery has
been fitted, press the lock barrel in and check
that the battery is now firmly seated. The lock
is closed and engaged. Doing this helps to
ensure that the battery does not subsequently
fall out.
Now insert the magnetic connector of the
system into the socket on the battery.
You know that the connector is correctly
seated when it is attracted by the magnetic
counterpart in the battery.
Before you plug it in, make sure that the
contacts of both the connector and the
socket on the battery are free of foreign
matter, particularly electrically conductive and
magnetic parts.
Remove the key as a safeguard against theft
and to avoid injuries before using your
pedelec/e-bike or s-pedelec. Do not attempt
to fit the battery during a ride.
After charging, plug the connector back into
the power socket of the battery.
Attention! Connectors and cables
must not scrape against tyres, the chain or
the ground during a ride. Look in particular
for magnetic particles on the connector
and remove these before plugging in.
Battery handling and care
Good care combined with proper use and
storage at the correct temperatures will have
a positive effect on the battery's service life.
Operating temperatures of between 5 and 35
°C are recommended. If the ambient
temperature falls below this range, we
recommend that you store the pedelec –
or at least the battery – in a warmer place.
Do not fit the battery until shortly before
