BATEC MOBILITY ONLY USES LITHIUM BATTERY TECHNOLOGY IT CON-
SIDERS STABLE AND SAFE.
All BATEC MOBILITY batteries use safety systems, including the
smart battery management system (BMS), which monitors the bat-
tery at all times.
In addition to all of the built-in safety systems, to minimise the danger
if a problem were to arise with elements outside the battery, such as
improper functioning of the electrical installations or problems with
the general power grid, we strongly recommend you follow these in-
structions carefully:
CAREFUL!
• Only charge the battery under supervision.
• Don't charge the battery while using your BATEC ELECTRIC HAND-
BIKE: Danger of electrocution and accidents.
• Don't charge the battery while asleep at night.
• Charge the battery well away from any flammable objects.
• Never use the discharging port to charge the battery and vice versa,
never use the charging port to discharge it.
• Only use the BATEC MOBILITY charger provided with your HANDBIKE
BATEC HIBRID to charge the battery.
• Never charge the battery near a heat source.
• Never charge the battery in temperatures below 0ºC.
• Always store the battery fully charged.
• Don't allow the inside of the battery to be manipulated in any way, as
there is a risk of explosion and/or fire.

4.8.3. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ON THE BATTERY
Using the battery in cold conditions
The performance of lithium batteries is limited, both in terms of pow-
er and battery life, in low temperatures (below 0ºC). It isn't a dan-
gerous situation but it is bothersome, so we recommend storing the
battery inside under these circumstances. Never charge the battery
in temperatures below 0ºC.
Using the battery in damp conditions
The casing of the BATEC MOBILITY battery provides good protec-
tion against rain and dampness for the cells and circuits inside. This
protection is enough for the battery to withstand these conditions
occasionally but regular, prolonged exposure to damp and rainy
conditions may cause the battery to stop working properly. Thus, we
recommend you avoid these circumstances and use the HANDBIKE
BATEC HIBRID as little as possible in rainy or snowy conditions.
Battery life
The life of the battery is between 200 and 500 charging cycles, and
between 1 and 3 years, depending on several factors, including tem-
perature, frequency of use, consistency of use and other individual
issues (user weight, driving style, terrain, etc.).
To get the most out of your battery we recommend you:
IMPORTANT!
• Drive gently at moderate speeds.
• Avoid exposure to high temperatures.
• Avoid exposure to low temperatures (below 0ºC).
• Avoid leaving the battery unused for long periods of time.
