LITHIUM-ION BATTERY WARNING AND USAGE INFORMATION

Lithium-Ion batteries are classified as dangerous goods for transport purposes. Failure to follow these instructions may result in fire, bodily injury, and/or property damage if charged or used improperly. Batteries and packs may explode and cause a fire if misused or defective.

BY RENTING/ PURCHASING A LITHIUM-ION BATTERY, EITHER AS PART OF A VEHICLE OR SEPARATELY, YOU ASSUME ALL RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH THE PRODUCT.

CHARGING:

  • Allow the battery to cool down to room temperature before charging. Do not charge the battery right after removing them from a vehicle. For e-Mopeds, the power switch must be turned off first.
  • Charge the battery at room temperatures of 50°F to 86°F, in an isolated area, away from combustible materials and heat sources. Do not cover the battery or charger while charging.
  • USE CHARGERS RENTED/PURCHASED FROM WHIZZ ONLY. Using incompatible chargers may damage the battery as well as cause a fire, leading to bodily injury and property damage.
  • Always monitor the charging process to ensure proper charging. DO NOT CHARGE THE BATTERY UNATTENDED, WHILE SLEEPING, OR FOR MORE THAN 7 HOURS.
  • Place the battery on a non-flammable surface while charging and check for any signs of damage or overheating during the process.
  • Discontinue charging immediately if the battery balloons, swells, smokes, or gets hot (above 95 °F). Disconnect the battery and observe it in a safe place for 15 minutes, as the battery may leak and ignite due to air exposure.
  • Charge the battery directly from wall outlets; do not use extension cords.
  • Remove the battery from the charger immediately upon completion of charge (when available, as soon as all 4 LED indicators are full).

STORAGE AND TRANSPORTATION:

  • Store the battery at room temperatures of 50°F to 86°F. Storing at above 90°F may cause damage and potential fire. Storing at below 50°F may decrease the lifespan and performance of a battery.
  • Do not expose the battery to direct sunlight, hot or wet environments (e.g. kitchens, parked cars, or any container that shares space with hot items) for extended periods.
  • Keep lithium-ion batteries and chargers away from children.

BATTERY CARE:

  • Both the battery and charger are high-tech electronic products and must not be opened arbitrarily to avoid leakage, overheating, smoking, fire, or explosion. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO OPEN OR REPAIR THE BATTERY OR CHARGER.
  • In case of unusual heat, noise, smoke, odor, swelling, or an actual fire/explosion, stop using the battery immediately. Avoid touching it and call 911 immediately.
  • To maximize battery lifespan and performance, keep the charge between 20% to 80%.
  • Lower temperatures may somewhat affect the battery's charging and discharging capacity, and in winter, the range may be reduced, which is a normal phenomenon.
  • Do not leave the battery outside in pouring rain. Always bring the battery inside after riding in the rain and let it dry at room temperature between 50°F and 86°F.
  • Do not immerse the battery in water or clean it with a steam jet or high-pressure cleaner.
