Battery charge indicator

The five green LEDs on the battery charge indicator (3) in-

dicate the battery's state of charge of when the battery is

switched on.

Each LED represents approximately 20% of the charging ca-

pacity. When the battery is fully charged, all five LEDs will be

lit.

The battery's state of charge when switched on is also shown

on the display of the on-board computer. Read and follow

the instructions in the operating manuals for the drive unit

and on-board computer.

If the battery capacity is less than 5%, all the LEDs on the

battery charge indicator (3) on the battery will go out. The

display function of the on-board computer, however, will

carry on working.

Once charging is complete, disconnect the battery from the

charger and the charger from the mains.

Using two batteries for one eBike (optional)

The manufacturer can also equip an eBike with two batter-

ies. In this case, one of the charging sockets will not be ac-

cessible or it will have been sealed with a sealing cap by the

bicycle manufacturer. Only charge the batteries via the char-

ging socket that is accessible.

uNever open charging sockets that have been sealed by

the manufacturer. Charging batteries via a charging

socket that used to be sealed may cause irreparable dam-

age.

If you want to use an eBike that is designed for two batteries

with only one battery, cover the contacts of the unused

socket using the cover (10) provided. Otherwise there is a

risk that the exposed contacts will cause a short circuit (see

figures A and B).

Charging process for two batteries

If two batteries are fitted to an eBike, both batteries can be

charged using the uncovered connection. To begin with,

both batteries are charged one after the other until they

reach approx.80–90% capacity, then they are both charged

at the same time until full (the LED flashes on both batter-

ies).

When the bike is in operation, power is drawn from both bat-

teries on an alternating basis.

If you take the batteries out of the holders, you can charge

each one individually.

Charging with one battery fitted

If only one battery is fitted, you can only charge the battery

that has the accessible charging socket on the bike. You can

only charge the battery with the sealed charging socket if

you take the battery out of the holder.

Inserting and removing the battery

uAlways switch off the battery and the eBike system

when inserting the battery into the holder or remov-

ing it from the holder.

Inserting and removing the standard battery (see figure

A)

In order for the battery to be inserted, the key (5) must be

inserted into the lock (6) and the lock must be open.

To insert the standard battery (8), place it onto the con-

tacts on the lower holder (9) on the eBike (the battery can

be titled towards the frame by up to 7°). Tilt it into the upper

holder (7) as far as possible until you hear it click into place.

Check that the battery is secure in all directions. Always se-

cure the battery by closing the lock (6) – otherwise the lock

may open and the battery may fall out of the holder.

Always remove the key (5) from the lock (6) after closing it.

This prevents both the key from falling out and the battery

from being removed by unauthorised third parties when the

eBike is not in use.

To remove the standard battery (8), switch it off and open

the lock using the key (5). Tilt the battery out of the upper

holder (7) and pull it out of the lower holder (9).

Inserting and removing the rack-mounted battery (see

figureB)

In order for the battery to be inserted, the key (5) must be

inserted into the lock (6) and the lock must be open.

To insert the rack-mounted battery (2), slide it contacts-

first into the holder (1) on the rack until you hear it click into

place.

Check that the battery is secure in all directions. Always se-

cure the battery by closing the lock (6) – otherwise the lock

may open and the battery may fall out of the holder.

Always remove the key (5) from the lock (6) after closing it.

This prevents both the key from falling out and the battery

from being removed by unauthorised third parties when the

eBike is not in use.

To remove the rack-mounted battery (2), switch it off and

open the lock using the key (5). Pull the battery out of the

holder (1).

Removing the PowerTube battery (see figureC)

❶To remove the PowerTube battery, (15) open the lock

(6) using the key (5). The battery will be unlocked and

fall into the safety restraint (14).

❷Press on the safety restraint from above. The battery

will be unlocked completely and fall into your hand.

Pull the battery out of the frame.

Note: As a result of varying designs, the battery may need

to be inserted and removed using a different method. In this

case, consult the bicycle documentation provided by your

bicycle manufacturer.

Inserting the PowerTube battery (see figure D)

In order for the battery to be inserted, the key (5) must be

inserted into the lock (6) and the lock must be open.

❶To insert the PowerTube battery (15), place it so that

its contacts are in the lower holder of the frame.

❷Push the battery upwards until it is held by the safety

restraint (14).
