Charging and maintenance of the battery pack
Important safety warning:
To ensure the battery's optimal condition and capacity, we recommend charging it
•
indoors at room temperature.
Never put the bicycle away with an empty battery. We recommend charging the
•
battery as soon as possible when it is empty.
battery is when the charge display shows three to five LED lights.
In winter, check the battery charge every other month, recharge it if fewer than three
•
LEDs light up.
Preferably store and use the battery between 5 and 20 C, avoid higher and lower
•
temperatures.
Do not charge the battery in direct sunlight and make sure that the battery is not
•
charged at a temperature lower than 5 C.
Only use the charger in dry indoor areas, the charger must not get wet.
•
Only use the supplied Van Raam battery and charger.
•
The housing of the battery and the charger must not be opened. In case of any
•
problems, please consult your dealer.
A Van Raam battery should not and cannot be reconditioned for reasons of safety and
•
incorrect functioning of the electrical system.
Do not drop the battery as this can cause external and internal damage.
•
If the bicycle malfunctions, the battery must be disconnected from the bicycle.
•
Keep in mind that the bike provides less assistance at lower temperatures (0ºC and
below) and that the battery will drain more quickly. It also takes longer to charge at
low temperatures.
Every battery drains over time. This process is called "self-discharge". A battery that is
empty and not charged can undergo a deep discharge caused by self-discharge and
become faulty as a result. The warranty is voided in the case of a deep discharge.
Keep in mind that every battery wears out over time. The wear and tear process of the
battery is inevitable and depends on several factors such as use, the number of times
it has been fully discharged and charged and the ambient temperature. Even if the
battery is not used, its capacity will decrease. A worn-out battery can be used, but
keep in mind that the range will be reduced.
