at the top. This will make your ride safer.

6 Battery
Your battery is a lithium-ion battery, the ideal type for
this application. One of the main benets is its low weight
combined with a high capacity.
6.1 Charging the battery
You can charge the battery whilst it is on the Pedelec
Chapter 5 „Quick start“.
Alternatively, you can take the battery out of its holder
and charge it in a separate location. This is recommended
if it is cold outside, in order to charge the battery in a
warmer room.
Condensation may form on the charger if the
temperature changes suddenly om cold to hot.
In case of condensation, wait approximately one
hour before connecting the charger to the mains,
until it has warmed up to the temperature of the
room. Ideally, avoid such situations by storing the
charger in the place where it is operated.
The battery can be charged at temperatures between 0°C
and 45°C. However, you can maximise a battery's service
life by charging it at an ambient temperature of between
+10°C and +30°C.
6.1.1 Removing the battery
1. Grip the battery by the handle, insert the key into
the lock and turn it anticlockwise. The battery is now
unlocked.
