Battery and charging

your next ride. You will then have the full
power and capacity of your battery at your
disposal from the start of the ride.
If the battery is very cold, do not attempt to
charge it. Allow the battery to warm up at
room temperature until it is warmer than 10
°C.
Do not leave the battery permanently
connected to the charger. Over long periods,
this could result in damage to the battery or
electronics.
Note: If the battery has been fully
discharged, you should recharge it
immediately. Doing so will prolong the
service life of the battery and avoid deep
discharge.
Storing the battery or pedelec
If the battery is placed in storage for long
periods without a recharge, it could suffer
permanent damage. This is particularly the
case when the battery is stored at high
temperatures and humidity.
Store the battery in a cool and dry place. The
ideal temperature range is between +5 and
+20 °C for long periods in storage.
If the battery is to remain out of use for a
long time or is to be placed in storage for a
long period, you should charge it beforehand
until the three LEDs of the charge state
indicator light up, which corresponds to a
capacity of 60% to 80%.
You must check the state of charge of the
battery every three months. If the state of
charge has dropped (fewer than three LEDs
light up), recharge the battery to around 60%
to 80% of capacity (three LEDs lit).
Note: A rechargeable battery stored for
long periods without a recharge could
sustain damage despite the low rate of self-
discharge and its maximum capacity could
be severely reduced by the effects of deep
discharge.
Observe the notes on storing the complete
pedelec/e-bike or s-pedelec in the general
instruction manual for your vehicle.
Resetting the battery
The battery has a protection circuit for
detecting fault states, e.g. a short circuit at the
connectors or overheating.
If the fault persists for a long period, the
electric circuit will be interrupted completely.
If the battery feels warm, let it cool down fully
first.
It is possible to reset and restart the battery
by pressing and holding the LED indicator
button on the battery for approximately
10 seconds. If the previously detected fault
states are no longer present, the battery will
be restarted.
Note: After the first few metres into the
ride, check that the battery indicator is
functioning correctly again. If you continue
to encounter problems, please consult
your specialist dealer.
If this still does not work, charge the battery
at least for a short time to finish the starting
process.
If the faults continue to be detected, the
electric circuit will remain interrupted. In this
case, please consult your specialist dealer.
