Storage For The Winter - Promovec Element Instruction Manual

Never leave your battery in your Promovec Electric e-bike for a
longer period of time.
Please note that the capacity of the battery will weaken over time
and at lower temperatures. The more you use your e-bike the
more the capacity will decrease thereby affecting the range. Over
time the reduced battery performance will also be noticeable
when driving in a hilly countryside. The battery life will normal-
ly allow charging/discharing up to 600 times.
Please also note that periods with low temperatures will influ-
ence the capacity and thus the performance of the battery nega-
tively. This will change when the temperature increases to ap-
prox. 20ºC.
Other parameters of major importance for the performance/
range are user weight, driving manners, terrain, surface and tire
pressure. The user himself/herself may also influence the per-
formance/range depending on how much pedal power is used.
It costs only little to have the charger connected all the time, as
the charger will switch to standby when the battery if charged to
full capacity. However, the charger should not be connected for
more than max. one week. The battery should then be removed
from the charger and charging to full capacity should take place
once a month (full charge = green diode on charger is on).

6.3 Storage for the winter

If you put away your e-bike for a longer period (more than one
month), it will be sufficient to charge the battery once a month.
Before putting the battery away for storage you should make
sure that it is fully charged, as the battery will be damaged by
being left totally or partly discharged for a longer period.
