7.1.1 Learning cycle
Once you have lly charged the battery for the rst
time, you must run it down until the system switches
o. Repeat this process roughly every six months. This
procedure (a so-called “learning cycle”) is necessary
so that the battery management recognises the chang-
es in the capacity caused by age and wear and tear, in
other words, the performance level of the battery. This
is the only way to enable adjustments to your remain-
ing range indicator.
Aerwards, the capacity of the battery is calculated
anew and correctly represented.
With this procedure, you can prevent a sudden loss of
electrical assistance during an extended trip.

management

short-circuit. If this were to happen, the battery
