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 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 begins 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 that low that the
running of the fan is not necessary.
Furthermore, the fan will also turn off towards the end of charging process, as it is no longer needed in
constant voltage mode.
8. Do not take remove the HMI during 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: 0 – 20 % charged capacity
LED 1 lighting and LED 2 flashing: 21 – 40 % charged capacity
LED 1,2 lighting and LED 3 flashing: 41 – 60 % charged capacity
LED 1,2,3 lighting and LED 4 flashing: 61 – 80 % charged capacity
LED 1,2,3,4 lighting and LED 5 flashing: 81 – 99 % charged capacity
LED 1,2,3,4 and 5 lighting: 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 lighting permanently.
With the E-Bike Vision fast charger, charging is completed, as soon as all LEDs of the battery are lighting and
charger LED is lighting solid green or red.
If the charger’s LED lights red, this is no cause for concerns. This can signalise 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 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 itself 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. 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.

powering the lights via the drive battery.
Maintenance
The life span of your PowerPack depends mainly of your carefully usage.
Never use the complete capacity, but use it regular and store it at 17° C. That way, your battery will thank you 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 shorte usage time after fully charged 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.
