6 Original User Manual | Pedelec Impulse Speed 2.0
A battery must not be short-circuited. It is dan-
gerous to store batteries a box or drawer where
they can short-circuit one another or can be short-
circuited by other conductive materials (paper
clips, coins, keys, nails, screws). A short circuit
between the battery contacts can cause burns or
re. Short-circuit damage caused in this way voids
all guarantee claims.
Batteries must not be exposed to mechanical
shocks. Even if a battery shows no visible signs
of damage aer falling or being knocked, it may
be damaged. For this reason, even batteries that
seem ne must be taken to a specialist dealer for
inspection. Damaged batteries must neither be
charged nor used for another application.
Keep batteries away om children.
Use the battery solely for your S-Pedelec.
Ideally, take the battery out of your S-Pedelec
when not in use.
Batteries not designed for the Pedelec must not be
used.
Never transport damaged batteries. The safety of
damaged batteries cannot be guaranteed.
Lithium reacts very strongly upon direct contact
with water. Never put the battery into water. Cau-
tion is therefore also required in the case of dam-
aged batteries which have become wet, as they
may catch re.
In case of re, water can be used to extinguish any
ames in the vicinity, but never the battery itself.
Powder re extinguishers for metal res (Class D)
are better suited to this task. If the battery can be
safely moved outdoors, the re can also be suo-
cated using sand.
The S-Pedelec operates at low voltage (36volts).
Never attempt to operate the Pedelec using power
om a source other than a genuine Pedelec bat-
tery. The designations of approved batteries are
listed in Chapter 12 “Technical data”.
1.4 Charger
The charger may only be used to charge the bat-
tery supplied. Use of the charger for other pur-
poses is not permitted. Any kind of manipulation
of the charger or battery housing is forbidden!
The mains voltage must correspond to the voltage
given on the type plate of the charger. The supply
voltage of the charger is given on the type plate on
the back of the device.
The charger is only intended for use indoors. The
battery may only be charged in a dry, non-amma-
ble environment. During the charging process, the
battery and charger must be placed on a at, non-
ammable surface. Battery and charger must not
be covered. There must be no highly combustible
materials in the immediate vicinity. This also ap-
plies when charging the battery on the S-Pedelec.
In this case, you must place the S-Pedelec so as
to prevent any re om spreading quickly (avoid
carpeted oors!).
Ingress of water and damp in the charger must
be avoided at all costs. In case of ingress of wa-
ter, immediately disconnect the charger om the
mains and have it checked by a specialist.
The battery may heat up during charging. A maxi-
mum temperature of 45°C may be reached. If the
battery becomes any hotter than this, stop the
charging process immediately. Such a battery may
no longer be used, and you must have it inspected
by the dealer.
A battery that displays a fault must not be
charged.
The battery must not be le unattended while
charging.
Damaged batteries must not be charged (risk of
explosion!).
Do not attempt to modi or take apart the charger.
Have repairs carried out only by specialists.
A charger with a damaged mains plug or mains ca-
ble must not be connected to the mains and must
be replaced by a specialist. The same applies for
extension cables that are not in perfect condition.
