Babboe Carve-E Manuel D'utilisation page 15

Inserting and disconnecting the battery
The pedal assistance must always be switched off
when inserting or disconnecting the battery. If you want
to insert the battery in your Babboe cargo bike, slide
the battery into the controller box (by the rear carrier).
Then lock the battery using the battery key, which is
located on the left side of the controller box. To lock the
battery, insert the battery key into the lock and turn it
counter clockwise.
To disconnect the battery, unlock the battery lock with
the battery key clockwise. Then remove the battery from the controller box by pulling the handle at the bottom of
the battery.
TIP
Remove the battery key from the battery lock after inserting or disconnecting the battery to ensure the key is less
likely to be lost. For example, keep the battery key attached to your bike key. After locking the battery, keep both
keys with you and you can never forget the battery key. Always keep spare keys on a separate key ring.
IMPORTANT! PLEASE NOTE:
• Batteries slowly empty, even if the bike is not used. Therefore remove the battery from your Babboe cargo bike
and keep it at home when the cargo bike is not in use.
• Storing and charging the battery should always be done in a (fire) safe place.
• Do not expose the battery to high temperatures (> 50 °C), such as heating and fire.
• Do not take the battery apart. Consult the service department at Babboe if you have a problem. Place the
battery in a shady, cool and dry place for long-term storage.
Charging the battery
To charge your battery you will need the following items:
1. Adapter and cord (for the power socket)
2. COP1 adapter (connected to the battery while charging)
28
COP1-adapter
If you wish to charge the battery at home, you'll need to use the COP1 adapter (Cell Optimiser). Connect the COP1
adapter to the separate battery. The adapter not only indicates whether your battery has been fully charged,
but also optimises the battery cells. When this process has begun a yellow LED light will start flashing. When the
battery is fully optimised the LED light will stop flashing. You can simply interrupt the process if necessary.
The optimisation will then continue the next time.
If you have connected the battery to the power supply, you can check the progress of the charging process
on the charging component. If the battery is installed in your bicycle, you can check the capacity on the
handlebar display.
IMPORTANT! PLEASE NOTE:
• Charging the battery should always be done in a safe place and not near anything flammable.
• Never connect the positive terminal of the battery to the negative terminal.
• Make sure the battery is fully charged at least once every 3 months (but do not charge longer than 48 hours).
• When the battery is not used for a long time it could become irreparably damaged.
• Charge the battery immediately when the battery is completely empty. Cells that are empty for a long time may
be damaged irreparably.
• Only use the charger supplied and use the battery/charger only for your Babboe cargo bike.
• Do not insert objects into the charger. Also make sure the charger, the battery and electronics are not exposed
to too much heat, water or other liquids.
• Use your charger only in a dry and well-ventilated place.
• The charger is not resistant to moisture and/or should not be dropped.
