Charger

The charger may only be used to charge the bat-
tery supplied. Use of the charger for other pur-
poses is not permitted. Any kind of manipulation
of the charger or battery housing is forbidden!
The mains voltage must correspond to the voltage
given on the type plate of the charger. The supply
voltage of the charger is given on the type plate on
the back of the device.
The charger is only intended for use indoors. The
battery may only be charged in a dry, non-flamma-
ble environment. During the charging process, the
battery and charger must be placed on an even,
non-flammable surface. Battery and charger must
not be covered. There must be no highly combus-
tible materials in the immediate vicinity. This also
applies when charging the battery on the Pedelec.
In this case, you must place the Pedelec so as to
prevent any fire from spreading quickly (exercise
caution with carpeted floors!).
Ingress of water and damp in the charger must
be avoided at all costs. In case of ingress of wa-
ter, immediately disconnect the charger from the
mains and have it checked by a specialist.
The battery may heat up during charging. A maxi-
mum temperature of 45°C may be reached. If the
battery becomes any warmer than this, suspend
the charging process immediately. Such a battery
may no longer be used, and you must have it in-
spected by the dealer.
A battery that displays a fault may not be charged
anymore.

The battery should not be left unattended while
charging. Alternatively, charge the battery in a
metal box.
Damaged batteries must not be charged (risk of
explosion!).
Do not attempt to modify or take apart the charger.
Have repairs carried out only by specialists.
A charger with a damaged mains plug or mains
cable may not be connected to the mains and must
be replaced by a specialist. The same applies for
extension cables that are not in perfect technical
condition.
Do not charge batteries for an extended period if
they will not be used.
If you detect smoke or an unusual smell, immedi-
ately unplug the plug of the charger from the sock-
et and disconnect the battery from the charger.
No chargers other than those specifically intended
for use with the battery may be used. The use of a
different charger may cause malfunctions, short-
ened service life, fire or explosion.
Do not continue to use damaged batteries and
chargers (plug, housing, cable).
Do not replace the mains cable. This poses the risk
of fire and explosion.
Condensation may form on the charger if the
temperature changes suddenly from cold to hot.
In case of condensation, wait approximately one
hour before connecting the charger to the mains,
until it has warmed up to the temperature of the
room. Ideally, avoid such situations by storing the
charger in the place where it is operated.
Only charge the battery at ambient temperatures
of between 0°C and 45°C. However, you can max-
imise a battery's service life by charging it at an
ambient temperature of between 10°C and 30°C.
