Storing The Battery; Removing The Battery - Stromer ST1x Notice D'utilisation

The battery is considered a hazardous good!
Remove the battery when you want to perform
any kind of work on the S-Pedelec, e.g. mainte-
nance or assembly. Unintentionally activating the
On/Off switch might lead to injury or an electric
shock.
• Don't ever open up the battery; This can cause
the battery to short circuit. All warranty and
guarantee claims expire when the battery was
opened.
• Do not store the battery with metal objects
that may cause shorts, e.g. office clips, nails,
screws, keys, coins. A short circuit may cause
burns or fires.
• Keep the battery away from heat, e.g. strong
sunlight and fire. There is a risk of explosion.
• Protect the battery from coming into contact
with water and other fluids. Contact may dam-
age the protective circuit and the protective
mechanism of the battery. This may cause fire
and explosions.
• Do not clean the battery with a pressure wash-
er. Use a damp rag when cleaning the battery.
Never use corrosive cleaning solutions.
• In the event that fumes escape after inap-
propriate use or damage, ensure exposure to
fresh air and consult a doctor if you experience
any medical problems. Before starting a ride,
the battery must be fully locked in place in its
holder and the battery box must be closed. You
may otherwise lose the battery while riding.
• Prevent deep discharging of the battery. It may
cause irreversible damage to the cells.

• The battery is exclusively intended for use with
Stromer electrical bicycle drives. Inappropriate
use or wrong handling may cause injury or a
fire. Stromer is not liable for damage caused by
inappropriate use.
• Never send a battery in the mail! Batteries are
hazardous goods. Only send batteries for your
S-Pedelec through your Stromer dealer. The
battery may overheat and catch fire under cer-
tain circumstances.
• The battery may not be disposed of with domes-
tic waste. The sales outlet will take it back and
will ensure appropriate disposal.
• Never store several batteries on top or next to
each other. This may lead to overheating and
fire.

Storing the battery

Store the battery in a dry and well-ventilated
place. A room temperature of approx. 20 °C is
optimal to prevent loss of capacity. Only use the
battery for rinding the Stromer in cold conditions.
Store it in a warm environment, which increases
the range. Ensure that the Stromer is switched off
when you want to store your battery in your bike.
Check its charging level approx. every 4– 8 weeks
and recharge it as required.
Store the battery with a battery charging state of
at least 40% when you do not intend to use it for a
prolonged period, e.g. during a winter break.
This is the most effective way of preventing deep
discharging. Ensure that the battery is never
stored in a fully discharged state, as this may lead
to deep discharging and irreversible cell damage.
Possible guarantee or warranty claims may then
become void.
The battery must be recharged within 2-3 days af-
ter it has been fully discharged in order to prevent
deep discharging.
Storage at a battery charging level of 40-60%
is best suited to preserving your battery. Please
consider that this shortens the period after which
deep discharging is possible when compared to a
fully charged battery! The capacity of a battery de-
creases with age, even when it is well-maintained.
You should change a battery that has not been
used or recharged for a prolonged period before
you install it in your S-Pedelec.
Permissible storage temperature range:
-20 – 60 °C
Permissible discharging temperature range:
-20 - 60 °C
Permissible charging temperature range: 0 – 50 °C
