specialist retailer. Only use the original
charger as supplied with battery due to risk
of fire or explosion. Disposal of used batter-
ies should follow locally enforced regula-
tions. Please carefully read the manual be-
fore use.
• Use the charger only in dry areas and do not
cover it during operation. It could otherwise
short circuit or cause a fire.
• When cleaning the charger, always unplug the
charger from the power outlet first.
• Read the instructions on the charger before
you start charging the battery.
• Do not drop or throw the battery. Avoid any
strong impacts. This may result in fluid leak-
age, fire or explosion.
• Do not apply force to the battery. If the battery
becomes deformed, the built-in safety mecha-
nism may be damaged. This may result in fire
or explosion.
• Do not use the battery when damaged. The
battery fluid may leak, and it can cause loss of
vision if it comes into contact with your eyes!
• Remove the battery from the pedelec if you
want to transport it (e.g. by car).
• Also, remove the battery if you want to do
any work on the pedelec (e.g. maintenance,
assembly). You are at risk of injury or elec-
tric shock if you accidentally press the on/off
switch.
• Never open the battery. Doing so may cause a
short circuit. Any warranties or guarantees are
void if the battery has been opened.

• Do not store or carry the battery with metal ob-
jects that can cause short circuits (e.g. paper
clips, nails, screws, keys, coins). A short circuit
may result in burns or fire.
• Keep the battery away from heat sources,
such as strong sunlight and fire. Failure to do
so may result in an explosion.
• Do not expose the battery to water or other
liquids. Contact with them may damage the
battery's safety circuit and safety mechanism.
This may result in fire or explosion.
• Do not clean the battery with a high-pressure
washer. Use a damp rag when cleaning the
battery. Never use aggressive cleaning solu-
tions.
• If improperly used, the battery may leak fluid.
This may result in skin irritation and burns.
Avoid contact with the battery fluid. If you do
come into contact with it, rinse the fluid off with
plenty of water. In case of contact with eyes,
seek medical attention.
• Fumes may be released in the event of dam-
age and/or improper use. Provide fresh air
and seek medical attention in the event of any
complaints.
• The battery must be fully snapped into place
and locked in the holder before beginning a
journey, you may otherwise lose the battery
while riding.
• Avoid deep discharging the battery. Doing so
will result in irreversible cell damage.
• The battery is only suitable for use with electric
bicycle drives from pedelecs. Improper use or
handling may result in injury or fire. The man-
ufacturer is not liable for any damage resulting
from improper use.
Battery storage
If you do not use your pedelec for
an extended period of time, remove
the battery, charge it (60-80%) and
store it separately in a frost-free, dry room.
• Avoid direct sunlight. This can lead to over-
heating, distortion, rupturing, poorer perfor-
mance and a shorter lifespan of the battery.
• To prevent deep discharge, the battery will go
into sleep mode after a certain time.
• Do not expose the battery to temperatures
outside the permissible storage temperature
range of -10 °C to 35 °C. Note that tempera-
tures of over 45 °C are common near heaters,
in direct sunlight or in overheated vehicle in-
teriors.
• When storing the battery for a longer period,
make sure it is charged to at least half its ca-
pacity, and charge it again three months later.
Do not wrap it with conductive material, as to
do so will cause damage due to direct contact
between metal and the battery.
If you notice the battery becoming
hot during use, charging or storage,
developing a strong odour, chang-
ing appearance, or any other abnormality,
do not continue to use the battery. Contact a
specialist dealer.
