Storage Conditions
Store the battery pack in a dry, well-ventilated location. Pro-
tect the battery pack against moisture and water. Under unfa-
vourable weather conditions, it is recommended e.g. to re-
move the battery pack from the eBike and store it in an
enclosed location until being used again.
The battery pack can be stored at temperatures between
–10 °C and +60 °C. For a long battery-pack life, however,
storing the battery pack at a room temperature of approx.
20 °C is of advantage.
Take care that the maximal storage temperature is not ex-
ceeded. As an example, do not leave the battery pack in a ve-
hicle in summer and store it out of direct sunlight.
It is recommended to not store the battery pack on the bike.
