• Avoid charging processes in over 40 °C or in
hermetically sealed rooms.
• Avoid water, moisture, dust or the proximity of
flammable materials.
• Always place the battery charger on a secure
and stable surface.
• Do not charge the battery if the housing of the
battery or battery charger displays any cracks
or fractures.

Battery state of charge screen

In the ride screen, you have the option of tracking
the battery state of charge for your ST2. The bat-
tery state of charge is shown in the form of a bar
and in percent.
If the battery is empty, your ST2 automatically
switches off the motor and changes to the no-as-
sistance mode.
The bar above the battery state of charge shows
the current energy flow. The screen helps you
to ride an extended range in an energy-efficient
manner. The longer the bar, the greater the en-
ergy flow.

bar is shown from the right to the left.

to the right. The riding speed and range are decreased on
steep climbs as the motor has to work harder to
increase the speed or the altitude.
Lower speeds (below 7 mph), mean less efficien-
cy. At high speeds (above 22 mph), drag increas-
es considerably. Ride consistently at a medium
speed to achieve the maximum range.
In order to extend the range using regenerative
braking, where possible only electrical braking
should be used (not mechanical braking). To do
so, ride in regenerative braking mode or only
lightly tap the brake to activate braking mode.
The longer the regenerative braking is active, the
more energy can be fed back into the battery.

increases with low tire pressure, which can con-

The range of the battery decreases at low temper-
atures. Only insert a battery that has been stored
at room temperature in your Stromer. This will
lessen the negative effect of low temperatures.

Battery care

In order to increase the service life of your Stromer
battery, please observe the following:
• Before riding for the first time or after a longer
period of disuse, the battery should be fully
charged.
• The first three times you charges your battery
make sure it is completely empty. However
there after avoid letting the battery go flat.
• In continuous use, you can completely
recharge the battery after every ride. This
increases the service life of the battery and
ensures that you are always ready for the next
ride. There is thus no need to ride the battery
to empty each time as there will be no
memory effect.
• Perform as many partial charges as possible,
do not ride the battery until it is completely
empty and recharge it even after a short period
of operation.
• If the battery is ridden completely empty, you
must charge this directly after riding as
otherwise the battery life will be compromised.
• If the ST2 814 Wh battery is not used for an
extended period, store it at room temperature
and recharge every 4 to 6 months.
• If the battery is not charged for an extended
period, a deep discharge may occur.
The warranty is thus invalid.
