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
- Connect the charger to the mains.
- Turn on the charger and wait until the green LED flashes slowly.
- Make sure that none of the battery LEDs are lighting when it’s not mounted in the
eBike.
- Now plug in the charging connector of the charger to the battery.
- 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 it’s 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.
- Charging process starts and the fan turns on. The LEDs of the battery corresponding to
it’s current state of charge begins to flash.
- 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.

- 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 Power Pack 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 Power
Pack.
Your Power Pack 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 it’s correct position, before inserting. If not, you can
damage the battery’s housing.
Before each use of Power Pack, 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 Power Pack 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: 0 –5 % charged capacity
LED 1 lighting: 6 –20 % charged capacity
LED 1 and 2 lighting: 21 –40 % charged capacity
LED 1,2 and 3 lighting: 41 –60 % charged capacity
LED 1,2,3 and 4 lighting: 61 –80 % charged capacity
LED 1,2,3,4 and 5 lighting: 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 Power Pack owns the latest and most safely 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.
