6.0 Safety Instructions/Precautions

WARNING!
• Read and observe the following safety instructions and
precautions before activating the battery and before starting
the charging process.
• Failure to comply with the safety precautions and
instructions may damage the product or result in electric
shock, fire and/or serious injuries.
• The lithium-ion battery contains chemical substances, which
may cause hazardous reactions if the safety instructions
specified here are disregarded.
• The manufacturer accepts no liability for damage resulting
from non-compliance with these instructions.
Safety instructions and precautions on the use of
the battery:
•• Before using for the first time, the battery should be fully
charged.
•• The battery must only be used at temperatures between -20
°C and 60 °C.
•• The battery must not be exposed to heat (e.g. radiators) or
fire. External heat exposure can lead to the battery exploding.
•• In the (unlikely) event of the battery overheating or catching
on fire, you must ensure that the battery does not come into
contact with water or other liquids. The only suitable
extinguishing agent that is recommended by the cell
manufacturers is sand.
•• Your add-on bike uses power in all operating modes.
Therefore, if possible, charge the battery after every use.
•• The battery must only be used to supply energy to the
neodrives components. Any other use requires the written
authorisation of the manufacturer.
•• The battery must not be opened or taken apart. Improper
opening or wilful destruction of the battery involves the danger
of serious injury. In addition, opening the battery voids any
warranty claim.
•• Never connect the battery contacts in the socket [3] to
metallic objects, or ensure that the contacts never come into
contact with metallic objects (for example with metal filings).
•• If the socket [3] is dirty, clean it with a clean and dry cloth.
•• Never immerse the battery in water.
•• The useful life of the battery depends, among other things,
on its storage location. Consequently, never leave the battery
(irrespectiveof whether the battery is installed in or has been
removed from the add-on bike) in hot locations for prolonged
periods. In particular, use the boot of a car parked in the sun
only for transport rather than as a storage location.
•• The battery must not be subjected to mechanical impact. If,
for example, the add-on bike overturns and the battery thereby
hits the ground, the battery must be checked by the
manufacturer. Contact your specialist dealer in this regard. You
must not continue to use a damaged battery.
•• If damaged or defective, the battery must be singled out and
checked. Please contact your specialist dealer and discuss
with them the next steps with regard to return and repair. The
defective/damaged battery must not be used again or opened.
•• Always ensure that the battery is kept clean and dry.

Safety instructions and precautions on how to store
the battery:
•• Protect the battery immediately upon separating from the
battery charger or motor. Never allow any moisture or foreign
particles (e.g. metal fragments, small nails, filings or other
conductive metals) to get into the battery.
•• Do not expose the battery to moisture of any kind during
storage (water, rainwater, snow, etc.).
•• Before storing it, charge the battery and check its charge
status every 3 months.
•• Store the battery in a cool and dry location where it is safe
from damage and unauthorised access.
•• To achieve the optimum battery service life, store the battery
at a temperature from 18°C to 23°C and at a humidity of 0 to 80
per cent. The charge status under these conditions should be
70 per cent.
•• Check the charge status of the battery every 3 months during
storage and charge it to 70 per cent if necessary.
Safety instructions and precautions on the charging
process:
•• Only charge the battery in a ventilated, dry and dust-free
environment.
•• Do not charge the battery in the presence or vicinity of
flammable liquids or gases.
•• Do not expose the battery to moisture of any kind during
charging (water, rainwater, snow, etc.).
•• Do not carry out the charging process in rooms where
moisture may affect the battery.
•• The battery must only be charged at temperatures between 0
°C and 40 °C. If you attempt to carry out a charging process
outside of this temperature range, the battery mechanism
automatically switches off the charging process. The battery
reaches its maximum service life if it is charged at temperatures
between 10 °C and 30 °C.
•• Only use the designated charger to charge the battery. Your
specialist dealer can provide the relevant information.
•• Using an unsuitable battery charger can lead to malfunction
and result in the battery having a limited service life. There is
also a danger of fire and explosion.
•• When the charging process is complete, disconnect the
charger from the mains socket first before disconnecting it from
the battery.
•• Ensure adequate air circulation as soon as the battery is
charged. In principle, only charge the battery under supervision.
•• Damaged batteries must not be recharged or used any
further.
•• Damaged battery chargers (damage to the plug, housing,
cable) must not be used.
