Storing
Store the pedelec, on-board computer, battery
and charger in a clean, dry place where they
are protected from sunlight.
Do not store outdoors to ensure a long service
life.
Storage temperature
Optimum pedelec storage
temperature
Table 26: Storage temperature for batteries and the
pedelec
Temperatures under -5 °C or over +40 °C must
generally be avoided.
Storage at about 10 °C to 20 °C is beneficial to a
long battery life.
Store pedelec, on-board computer, battery and
charger separately.
Store batteries in rooms with smoke detectors
and not near flammable or easily flammable
substances and not near sources of heat.
4.4.1
Break in operation
Notice
The battery discharges when not in use. This can
cause irreparable damage to the battery.
The battery must be recharged every
6 months.
The battery may become damaged if it is
connected permanently to the charger.
Never connect the battery to the charger
permanently.
If the battery is stored for a longer period of time
when empty, it can become damaged despite low
self-discharge and the storage capacity can be
greatly reduced.
Store battery with at least 30% charge.
Remove the on-board computer from its mount
if the pedelec is not going to be used for up to
four weeks. Store the on-board computer away
safely in a dry environment at room
temperature.

If the pedelec is removed from service for
longer than four weeks, you need to prepare it
for a break in operation.
4.4.1.1 Preparing a break in operation
Remove the rechargeable battery from the
+10... +40 °C
pedelec.
+10... +20 °C
Charge battery between 30% and 60% so that
2 to 3 LEDs light up on the battery level indicator.
The pedelec needs to be cleaned with a damp
cloth and preserved with wax spray. Never wax
the friction surfaces of the brake.
Before longer periods without use, it is
recommended to have the specialist dealer carry
out maintenance and basic cleaning and apply
preservative agent.
4.4.1.2 Carrying out a break in operation
1 Store the pedelec, battery and charger in a dry,
clean environment. We recommend storing
them in uninhabited rooms with smoke alarms.
Dry locations with an ambient temperature
between 10 °C and 20 °C are ideal.
2 Check the battery level after 6 months. If only
one LED on the battery level indicator lights up,
recharge the battery to between 30% and 60%.
