For rider safety, reliable operation and a long service life, it is essential to note the
following:
– After the first full charge, the battery can be partially charged. Partially charging
the battery will not damage it, as lithium-ion rechargeable batteries do not have a
memory effect.
– Partial charges are rated proportionally to their capacity (a charge of 50 % corresponds
to half a charge/discharge cycle).
Temperature limits must be observed for the rechargeable battery to function properly.
x Refer to the information enclosed by the manufacturer about the rechargeable
battery as well as the enclosed drive system manuals.
– Note that ambient temperatures below +10 °C and above +40 °C/below 50 °F and
above 104 °F can reduce the range.
– Particularly high and particularly low ambient temperatures can permanently speed
up battery wear or even damage the rechargeable battery.
x The rechargeable battery is subject to a certain degree of wear. Refer to the
warranty terms for exact charge/discharge cycle specifications and corresponding
power loss figures.
x If you experience excessive power loss, e.g. operating time is significantly
shortened, have the rechargeable battery checked by a dealer.
x Never make any alterations to the rechargeable battery yourself.
4.4.1 Safety feature
CAUTION
Overheating of the drive and rechargeable battery in the event of
a malfunction.
Risk of burning!
x Avoid contact with the drive and rechargeable battery.
The rechargeable battery and/or the charger are equipped with a temperature control
which only allows charging when the temperature is between 0 °C and +45 °C/between
32 °F and 113 °F.
If the rechargeable battery is outside these temperature limits, the charging process is
stopped automatically.
x Refer to and follow the notes in the system manual if charging stops prematurely.
