Safety instructions
Read all safety information and instructions
carefully.
Failure to follow the information and instructions
may result in fire, electric shock and/or serious
injury.
The ingredients used in lithium-ion batteries are
flammable under certain conditions.
Therefore, follow the instructions in this manual
carefully.
Keep this manual and its safety instructions in a
safe place for future reference.
• Remove the Simplo Snake battery AST-09
(hereafter referred to as battery) from the frame
before starting any work (repairs, inspections,
etc.) on the e-bike. The same applies if you
transport the e-bike by car or plane. Unin-
tentional activation of the e-bike system may
cause injuries.
• Do not open the battery. This may cause a
short circuit. In addition, any warranty or
guarantee claim is void.
• Protect the battery from heat (including
permanent sunlight), fire and immersion in
water. Do not operate the battery near hot or
flammable objects due to the danger of explo-
sion.
• When not in use, keep the battery away from
any metallic parts that could cause bypass-
ing of the contacts. This may cause burns or
fire. Short-circuit damage caused by foreign
objects will void any warranty or right of
recourse.
• Avoid strong mechanical loads on the battery.
These can damage the cells and release flam-
mable substances.
• Do not store the battery near flammable
materials. Charge the battery only above 0°
Celsius and in dry condition in a fire-safe pla-
ce. There is a risk of fire due to the heat gene-
rated during charging.
• The battery must not be charged when unat-
tended.
• If damaged, liquids may leak from the battery.
Avoid any contact. If contact has nevertheless
occurred, rinse quickly with lukewarm water.
In case of eye contact, seek medical attention
immediately. Leaking battery fluid can cause
skin irritation and burns.
• Batteries must be protected from mechanical
shocks, as there is a risk of damage to the
battery.
• Vapors may escape if the battery is damaged
or used improperly. Immediate supply of fresh
air is required. If you have any discomfort,
contact a doctor as the vapors can irritate the
respiratory tract.
• Only charge the battery with the original
charger. When using an external charger, the
risk of fire cannot be excluded.
• Use the battery only with the original Brose
e-bike drive system. This is the only way to
protect the battery from dangerous overloa-
ding.
• Use only original Simplo Snake batteries
approved by the manufacturer for your e-bike.
Other batteries may cause injury or fire. No
liability or warranty is accepted for the use of
other batteries.
• Keep the battery away from children.
• Read and follow the safety instructions and
notes mentioned in all operating manuals of
the e-bike system and the operating manual
of your e-bike.
Our product safety and the safety of our customers
is our top priority.
We exclusively use lithium-ion batteries that are
developed and manufactured according to the
current state of the art. All safety standards are
met or exceeded.
The high-energy content of a charged battery can
lead to a fire in very rare cases and under unfa-
vorable circumstances in the event of a defect
(possibly not visible from the outside).
