Charging and maintenance tips for the battery
Never leave the bike with an empty battery! We advise you charge the battery as soon
•
as possible before it's totally empty.
The best storage-charge of the battery is when three to five LED lights are lit.
•
Check the battery every month in the winter. If fewer than three LED lights burn,
•
recharge the battery.
Preferably store and use the battery in environments of 5 to 20ºC. Avoid higher or
•
lower temperatures.
Do not charge the battery in sunlight and make sure that the battery is not charged at
•
a temperature of less than 5 ºC.
Only use the charger indoors and in non-humid environments, the charger should not
•
get wet.
Only use the Van Raam supplied battery.
•
Only charge the battery with the supplied charger!
•
The battery housing and charger housing may never be opened! When there is a
•
problem, contact your dealer.
The Van Raam battery may not be revised due to serious safety risks and the incorrect
•
functioning of the electric system as a whole.
Don't drop the battery, this can cause external and internal damage.
•
If your bicycle has a fault, the battery should be disconnected from the bicycle.
•
Keep in mind that your bike provides less support when it's cold (0ºC and less) and the
battery will discharge faster. Charging also takes more time at lower temperatures.
Every battery discharges automatically over time. This process is called self-discharge.
A battery that is empty and not charged, will self-discharge and will be deep
discharged. The battery can be permanently damaged during this process. In case of
deep discharge, the warranty will be void.
Please note that any battery will wear over time. The wearing process of the battery is
inevitable and depends on several factors, such as usage, number of charge cycles and
the ambient temperature. Even if the battery is not used, its capacity will decrease. A
worn battery can still be used, but please bear in mind that its charge level may
decrease.
