Charging the Rechargeable Battery
You need not necessarily remove the rechargeable battery from your
CUBE EPO pedelec to charge it. You can charge the rechargeable bat-
tery directly on the CUBE EPO pedelec
(a)
or remove the recharge-
able battery by opening the lock or the Pinhead®-locking system
(b)
and charge it in your home or garage. Remove the rechargeable
battery by releasing the lock with the key anticlockwise or open the
Pinhead®-locking system, as described in chapter
“How to Use the
Pinhead®-Locking System”.
For transport reasons the rechargeable battery is supplied ex works
with a state of charge of 30 %. However, due to a certain self-dis-
charge (reference value: about 1 % per day with ambient tempera-
ture), the rechargeable battery must be fully charged before being
used for the rst time.
The battery’s state of charge is indicated in ten bars on the display
(c)
. In the case of the down tube and pannier rack option the state of
charge can also be checked by pressing the ON-button on the bat-
tery housing. The number of glowing LEDs shows the current state
of charge.
For more details in this regard also read chapter
“Technical Speci-
cations“. If you have any questions, contact your CUBE dealer.
Proceed as follows when charging your battery:
• Connect the magnetic charging plug to the charging socket of the
rechargeable battery
(d)
.
• Connect the power cable to the supplied charger
(e)
. Put the mains
plug into a 220V socket
(f)
.
• The LED of the charger glows green during the charging process.
• The LEDs of the state of charge display on the battery start blink-
ing.
i
CUBE EPO pedelecs with seat post battery do not have a
state of charge display on the battery housing or the seat
post.
• On delivery the rechargeable battery of your CUBE EPO pedelec
is usually not fully charged. Before you set o for the rst time the
battery needs a deep charge.
• The duration of the charging process depends on the battery ca-
pacity and the charger type.
