• Connect the charger only to a suitable mains supply.
• Do not charge NiCd, NiMh or primary cells!
• Use the charger only with the appropriate PowerPacks of E-Bike Vision!
• When not using for a longer period, disconnect the mains supply and also connected batteries.
• The charging time varies depending on the battery’s capacity and charger type.
• Do not charge the battery below 0° and not above 45° C. The battery management system will not allow starting the charging process.
• Please charge your PowerPacks only under supervision and on a non-combustible surface (both battery and charger).
• The charger is designed for operation in a ventilated, dry and dust-free environment. Never expose to rain or extreme heat. Allow adequate air circulation.
• Do not cover the charger, nor the battery.
• Ensure that the plugs and sockets of the charger are not damp or contaminated.
• Do not touch plugs and sockets of the charger with wet hands.
•  Do not try to convert or disassemble the charger.
• Before the charger is connected to the mains, please ensure that the line voltage matches to the supply voltage of the charger. The charger’s needed voltage is indicated on it‘s nameplate on the backside.
• A charger with a damaged power supply cord or plug must not be connected to the electrical grid and must promptly replace or repaired by the E-Bike service center.
•  Penetration of water and moisture into the charger must be avoided in any case. Should this have happened, power off the charger (by turning off the fuse) immediately? Disconnect the charger from the mains and let it be checked by the E-Bike Vision service center.
• A sudden temperature change from cold to hot, there could be condensation water on and in the charger. In this case, wait for connecting to the mains until the charger is as warm as the room. Try to avoid this case by storing the charger where you use it.
  For maximum life of your battery, charge it only within 10° and 30° C temperature range.

The Charging
The charging outside the pedelec is started by unlocking the lock, that way you can remove the battery as usual and charge it in your appartement or garage in your presence.
Turn off the drive system and wait until the LEDs of the battery expire. Only now, you unlock the lock with the key counter-clockwise to the left.
When using the E-Bike Vision charger you are able to charge your battery in or outside the battery.
The drive system must be turned off.
Simply open the cap.
Under the cap, the 4pin connector for the E-Bike Vision charger is located.

Start of charging process with the E-Bike Vision charger

1. Connect the charger to the mains.
2. Turn on the charger and wait until the green LED flashes slowly.
3. Make sure that none of the battery LEDs are lighting when it’s not mounted in the eBike.
4. Now plug in the charging connector of the charger to the battery.
5. In the charging socket of the battery and in the charging plug of the charger, there are guide slots to prevent the charging plug to be inserted incorrectly. Please turn the charging plug slightly, when you plug it in the socket of the battery until it is in its right position. This manifests itself by a slight snap. Now, the charging plug can be inserted with light pressure. Please do not try to push the charging plug into the charging socket with too much force, otherwise, you could damage the battery or the charger.
6. Charging process starts and the fan turns on. The LEDs of the battery corresponding to its current state of charge begin to flash.
7. If the battery is almost fully charged (4 LEDs are lighting and the 5th is flashing), the fan will not start turning under certain circumstances, because the charger switches immediately into the so-called constant voltage mode. Within this mode, the power consumption of the charger is so low that the running of the fan is not necessary.
   Furthermore, the fan will also turn off towards the end of the charging process, as it is no longer needed in constant voltage mode.
   8. Do not take remove the HMI during the charging process!
   Once you remove the HMI of your eBike during charging, the capacity indication LEDs turn off. The charging process is continued indeed, but even if you install the HMI again, you will not see the capacity indication LEDs again.

During charging, the capacity is indicated by lighting and flashing of the battery’s LEDs as follows:

LED 1 flashing:
LED 1 lighting and LED 2 flashing:
LED 1,2 lighting and LED 3 flashing:
LED 1,2,3 lighting and LED 4 flashing:
LED 1,2,3,4 lighting and LED 5 flashing:
LED 1,2,3,4 and 5 lighting:| 0 – 20 % charged capacity
21 – 40 % charged capacity
41 – 60 % charged capacity
61 – 80 % charged capacity
81 – 99 % charged capacity
100 % charged capacity
---|---

• Break up of charging process
• To complete the charging, switch off the charger and unplug the charging plug of the battery. Reattach the cap of the charging socket and pull the power plug of the charger from the wall socket.
• If you charged your battery within your eBike, so please turn off and on your drive system, so that it can calculate the range.

Charging with your original charger is completed, as soon as all LEDs are lit permanently. With the E-Bike Vision fast charger, charging is completed, as soon as all LEDs of the battery are lighting and the charger LED is lighting solid green or red.

If the charger’s LED lights red, this is no cause for concerns. This can signalize for example, that the battery management system has finished charging for balancing the individual cell voltages of the installed cells. This ensures the lifetime and the safety of your battery.
Charging time
The battery with a capacity of 13 Ah requires about 4 hours to be fully charged with the standard charger and about 2 hours with our fast charger.
The battery with a capacity of 17 Ah requires about 5 hours to be fully charged with the standard charger and about 3 hours with our fast charger. Of course, you can continue to use your old charger. Please proceed as described within the manufacturer’s manual.
ATTENTION: Charge your PowerPack always with a minimum 4A charge current (that is called the so-called rapid charging)!
If you own the first-generation charger (metallic housing), please make sure that you charge in the rapid charge mode (indicated by the flashing charger LED).
Battery usage
Please consider the safety instruction given earlier during usage of your E-Bike Vision PowerPack.
Your PowerPack will enter automatically into sleep mode (if it is not installed in the eBike) after 3 seconds to prevent of self-discharging. Also, it will shut down the drive system after 10 minutes of no use of the eBike. It is irrelevant whether the lights are enabled or not!
Take care, that the battery is in its correct position, before inserting it. If not, you can damage the battery’s housing.
Before each use of PowerPack, it must be activated by pushing the capacity indicator button or by pushing the ON / OFF switch of the HMI.
Do not press the capacity indicator button several times in quick succession, this activates and deactivates the battery once again.
You installed your new E-Bike Vision PowerPack correctly in your eBike and locked it (do not forget to remove the key)? Then turn on the drive system by the capacity indication button or via the ON /OFF switch of your HMI. The drive system now read the current capacity of the battery and will calculate the approximated range, based on your previous driving profile. The drive system is ready for use as soon as the speed is displayed.
Capacity is indicated during use as folows:

LED 1 flashing:
LED 1 lighting:
LED 1 and 2 lighting:
LED 1,2 and 3 lighting:
LED 1,2,3 and 4 lighting:
LED 1,2,3,4 and 5 lighting:| 0 – 5 % charged capacity
6 – 20 % charged capacity
21 – 40 % charged capacity
41 – 60 % charged capacity
61 – 80 % charged capacity
81 – 100 % charged capacity

Do not remove your battery off the eBike, as long as the drive system is on. Turn it off before!

Your new PowerPack owns the latest and most safe battery management system technology and protects itself from incorrect operation. Before the cells would be completely discharged, the battery switches off the motor. However, there will remain enough power within the battery, to drive safe home with activated lights, if you are powering the lights via the drive battery.

Maintenance

The life span of your PowerPack depends mainly on your careful usage.
Never use the complete capacity, but use it regularly and store it at 17° C. That way, your battery will thank you for will longer life span.
With increasing aging your battery will loose capacity, anyway.
Do not try to refresh or exchange the cells on your own!
Get in contact with our service department. They can also rate and exchange single components after the warranty time.
An essential short usage time after fully charging the battery indicates that the battery is dissipated, however. Replace it!

Troubleshooting

If your drive system can not be activated, please check the contacts of the discharge plug to make sure that they are clean, straight, and undamaged and that there is a safe contact between battery and connector box.

If the drive system can still not be activated, please try to charge your battery.
If charging does not start, please check the polarity of the charge plug.
Please test the battery by pushing the capacity indicator button.
Is the power cord of the charger connected properly and performs the wallet socket?
Is the green LED of the charger flashing? If this is flashing red, there can be a short circuit. Charger and battery must be returned to the E-Bike Vision service center.
If the battery damaged, defective, or exits any liquids or smell? Please do not use your PowerPack further and contact your dealer or our service center.

Recycling

Do not dispose of lithium batteries in the household waste! Return defective or used batteries to the battery dealers or to the municipal waste collection centers. Turn back the battery in the discharged state. Also prevent short- circuits by covering the terminals.
