Notes:
You cannot use the battery unless you have first
charged it with a specific charger. The battery is
ready when the LED light comes on.
If you use a battery made by another
manufacturer, make sure you read the instructions
before use.
You also need to make sure that the battery is
properly in place in its housing.
Charging the battery:
The charging time depends on how much capacity
is left and which charger you use.
Charge the battery using the charger
specified by the manufacturer and follow
the instructions provided. If you do not do
this, the battery may overheat, explode or
catch fire.
Danger
When you are charging a battery that is
fitted to the bike, make sure you don't
twist the charging cable and that nothing
gets caught in it. You may hurt yourself or
the bike might fall over and get damaged.
N.B.
When you plug in the battery charger power
supply or the battery charger plug, do not pull on
the cable as it could break.
If you are storing your bike for a long period
immediately after buying it, you will need to
charge the battery before using the bike.
Charge your batteries on a flat, indoor surface.
Read the Shimano manual or talk to your reseller
for more information.
Contact your approved O2Feel reseller

Looking after your battery day to day:
Before getting on your bike, check the following: If
there is a problem with any of the following points,
contact the shop from which you bought your
bike or a bike seller:
•
Is the battery charged?
•
Is the battery installed correctly?
•
If you do not want to use your bike for a long
time, when you store it, make sure that the
remaining battery is around 70%. Also make
sure that you do not let your battery run down
completely by charging it every 3 months.
