2.4 Further information about the battery
* The environmental burden is not heavy, electricity is part of clean forms energy.
Your battery should be (just like normal batteries) submitted in order to be recycled
at the end of the life cycle (look for a drop-off point in your area).
* The battery pack can, under ideal conditions, be fully charged and discharged
around 1000 - 1500 times. The performance will slowly decline by lots of use, and
eventually the battery pack should be replaced.
* The performance of the battery will decrease at low temperatures. The referred
range is optimal at a measured temperature of approximately +/-25 °C. The guideline
is that the capacity decreases by 1 % at a 1 °C temperature drop.
* Do not connect the positive contact point of the battery to the negative contact
point.
* Do not expose the battery to high temperatures
(> 50 °C), such as heat and fire.
* Do not take the battery apart. Consult your dealer by any problems. With long-
term storage, place the battery in a shady, cool and dry place.
* The battery is sealed and therefore resistant to rain. So you can use you bike well in
bad weather. Try not to expose the battery to large amounts of water.
* Attention! The capacity will increase the first 4 - 10 charging cycles (e.g. up
to appoximately 1000 km with the 560 Wh battery) and only then reach its fully
specified capacity range.
* Attention! Capacity may be reduced up to 15 % per year. The decrease depends on
usage and charging cycles.
* Attention! It may happen that same bicycles purchased at the same time give a
different range. New batteries provide minimal their specified values. There can be a
slight variation, so it is possible that one of the bikes performs above specifications.
* Attention! The battery without luggage is only suitable for small loads such as
bages, up to max 10 kg.
* Attention! Child seats or heavy load (up to max 20 kg) can only be connected to
the carrier, which can be ordered optionally.
