low assist level when riding. With lower dis-
charge currents, you conserve your battery.
› Make sure that the battery is fully charged before
you ride your bike for the first time or if you have
not used it for a while.
› If you continuously run the battery to empty
during normal operation, this reduces its service
life. Frequent partial recharging of the battery
has a favourable effect on its service life. You
should therefore partially recharge the battery
whenever possible: Do not run the battery all the
way down to empty and recharge it even after a
short period of operation.

Storage

If you do not need your battery for a while, store it at a
temperature of +10°C at 50-70% of its full charge capac-
ity. If you do not use the battery for six months, you must
recharge it.
5.6

Shipping

Do not ship batteries! A battery is a hazardous article
which can overheat and catch fire in certain conditions.
The preparation and shipping of a battery may only be
carried out by trained personnel.
If you would like to return your battery for replacement,
please always arrange this via your specialist cycle shop.
Specialist cycle shops can have the battery picked up free
of charge and in compliance with dangerous goods legisla-
tion.

Disposal

Batteries are not to be disposed of with domestic waste.
Consumers are legally bound to dispose of used or dam-
aged batteries at the locations designated for the purpose
(battery collection point or specialist cycle shop).

6 Charger

Read the type plates on the charger before using it for
the first time.
You can charge your Xion Pedelec directly via a charging
socket in the battery. The battery can remain on the Pe-
delec whilst the charging operation is in progress.
Charging the battery
Alternatively, you can take the battery out of its holder
and charge it elsewhere.
This is recommended if it is cold outside, in order to
charge the battery in a warmer room. The battery can be
charged at temperatures between 0°C and 45°C.
Do not use other chargers. Only charge the battery us-
ing the charger provided, or a charger approved by us.
If a charging fault occurs, the LED (where present) in the
charger flashes red. In this case, the charging current is
too high.
