In order to avoid damage to Pedelec batteries, which can cause fires and explosions, they should always be charged and handled according to the manufacturer's instructions.
The NRW consumer advice center provides information about this.
Lithium-ion batteries consist of highly reactive and flammable components.
However, if you follow the safety instructions and handle them carefully, you can avoid the corresponding damage.
Charge pedelec batteries correctly
A medium charge level is often the gentlest - so it is better to avoid full loading and unloading.
Basically, you only charge batteries with the original charger at room temperature.
In doing so, it becomes warm - but if it becomes unusually hot, this can indicate a defect.

Therefore, it is better to never leave the battery completely unattended during the charging process.
To be on the safe side, a fire blanket or sand should be on hand.
Because only with this, but not with water, should a potential fire be extinguished, according to consumer advocates.
A damaged battery should not be charged at all.
Therefore, always check beforehand whether it is still intact and not bloated.
The energy dispensers are also sensitive to strong vibrations.
It is therefore better to have it checked by a specialist after a fall.
Batteries also do not like temperatures above 60 degrees, i.e. prolonged exposure to the sun.
In addition, cold temperatures below minus ten degrees are a problem for them.

The battery is also a wear part.
Depending on the care, a new one could be due after 500 to 1000 full charging cycles.
Then it is better to use an original model, as third-party products can lead to impairments and damage, according to the consumer advice center in North Rhine-Westphalia.
If you want to store the battery longer, you can charge it between 30 and 60 percent and recharge it about every three months.
The environment for this should be dry and on average between 10 and 15 degrees warm.
