6. Rechargeable battery systems need to be charged before use. For charging, please follow
the producer's instructions or the instructions in the manual of the device.
7. After a prolonged storage time, it may be necessary to charge and discharge the battery
system multiple times to get back to performance.
8. Do not use this product if the flexible power cord or output cable is frayed or has broken
insulation or any other signs of damage.
9. Only use the type of battery specifically designed for and approved by Specialized for use
with your bicycle. The same applies to the charger, charger cord, and output cable. Only use
charger components approved by Specialized to work with your battery.
10. Rechargeable battery systems have the greatest performance when kept and used at
normal room temperature 20 °C (68°F).
11. This equipment is not intended to be used at ambient temperatures less than -10°C (14°F) or
above ambient temperatures of 40°C (104°F).
12. This battery is intended to be charged only when the ambient temperature is between 0°C
(32°F) and 25°C (77°F). Never charge the battery when ambient temperatures are out of
this range.
13. Do not expose the battery to big temperature changes.
14. Exposing the battery to temperatures above 70°C (158°F) may result in battery leakage and
rupture.
15. Never use or charge a battery with external damage, such as a cracked or chipped
enclosure, or if it leaks any battery fluid. The same applies to your charger, charger cord,
and output cable. If your charger has any external damage, do not use it. If the charger cord
or output cable shows signs of fraying or has damaged insulation, do not use them.
16. Do not expose battery systems to strong mechanical impacts. A hard enough impact can
potentially damage the battery, which may or may not be visible from the outside but can
render the battery unsafe.
17. Always keep the battery and battery system dry and clean.
18. Store the battery in a dry place, away from open flames and food.
19. Water inside a battery or charger can cause a short circuit and fire. Do not pressure-wash
your battery or charger. Do not submerge them in water or leave them out in the rain or
snow.

20. Do not expose battery systems to any solvent materials (i.e., dilution, alcohol, oil,
anticorrosive) or chemicals that could impact the surfaces of the battery (i.e., detergents).
21. Chargers are designed for indoor use only. When you connect the charger to the battery,
make sure the connections are dry and clean.
22. Always be present when charging your battery, and disconnect the charger from the battery
when it is fully charged. Do not leave your battery plugged in or let it charge overnight.
Immediately disconnect the battery from the charger when you encounter a problem during
the charging process, e.g., if the charger or battery gets abnormally hot (e.g., hot to the
touch) or if the LED lights or display(s) signal a problem.
23. Do not charge or store your electric bike or battery packs by an exit door as your exit path
may be blocked in case of a fire or other emergency.
24. The charger may get warm during the charging process. Place it on a level, stable surface
unaffected by heat and allow for sufficient ventilation. Do not place the charger on a rug or
carpet or cover it up during charging, as it may cause a fire. If the charger stays warm for
an extended period after charging, it may be damaged and should be replaced. The same
applies to the battery.
25. Never open up, disassemble, or modify the battery or charger. Do not touch any live
components. Always turn the battery off before working on your bicycle, before charging the
battery, and when the bicycle is not in use.
26. Products with broken seals shall not be used and immediately forwarded for appropriate
recycling.
27. Do not allow metallic objects such as keys, coins, or screws to come in contact with the
battery, charging socket, or the charger's charging connector. The magnetic charging
connector may attract small metallic objects, which could cause a short circuit. Be careful
not to pierce the battery with a sharp object like a screwdriver or nail.
28. Do not expose the battery to an open fire or excessive heat, e.g., inside a hot car or in strong
sunlight. Review the Battery technical data section, which lists acceptable temperature
ranges where the battery can be charged, used, or stored. Never place the battery in a
microwave oven or dryer.
29. In the event that you experience symptoms clearly resulting from inhalation or ingestion of
combustion gases or if there is direct contact with your skin or eyes, it is imperative to seek
immediate medical aid.
30. After inhalation: leave the area immediately for fresh air. Seek medical assistance.
