Step 1: Charge your battery properly 🔌

Proper charging extends the life of your battery and ensures its efficiency.

The essential steps:

1. Connect the charger : Plug the USB-C plug into your battery, making sure the connector is fully seated to avoid interruptions.
2. Watch the indicator lights :
   • 🔴 Red light = battery charging.
   • 🟢 Green light = battery fully charged.
3. Respect the charging time : A full charge requires 3 to 4 hours depending on the starting level.

⚠️ Important Tip: Avoid leaving the battery plugged in once it is charged to avoid overcharging, which can reduce its longevity.

Step 2: Store your battery optimally

Proper storage is crucial, especially when you're not going to use your e-bike for an extended period of time.

🌡️ Ideal conditions:

• Recommended temperature : Store the battery at a temperature above 15°C.
• Protect it from humidity 💧 : A dry environment is essential to avoid corrosion or malfunctions.

🔋 Before storing your battery:

• Make sure it is charged to at least 80%.
• Store it in a protective cover to prevent bumps and scratches.

Step 3: Protect your battery in winter ❄️

Cold weather can temporarily reduce your battery's performance. Follow these winter best practices:

• Do not leave your battery exposed to freezing temperatures : Temperatures below 0°C can damage its internal cells.
• Store it indoors : Keep it in a cool place when the bike is not in use.
• Activate it regularly : Even without use, turn on your electric wheel at least every two weeks.

⚠️ Practical reminder: A temporary drop in autonomy in cold weather is normal and is restored as soon as the temperature returns to normal.

Step 4: Regular cleaning and inspection 🧼

Regular maintenance of your battery ensures its proper functioning and prevents technical problems.

Best practices:

• Clean it with a soft cloth to remove dust and dirt.
