This is partly because there are different types of lithium batteries. Almost exclusively NMC 811 chemistry lithium-ion batteries are used in e-bikes and pedelecs today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Mechanical care<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While the battery is a component that essentially consists of electrics and electronics, there are also physical care instructions to observe.

It is repeatedly the cause of problems with the Stromer. For proper functioning, it must be free of dirt and corrosion.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1647\" height=\"1175\" src=\"https:\/\/wp.stromer-tech.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Stromer_Rosenbergerstecker-buchse-Defekte.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-10019\" style=\"width:600px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wp.stromer-tech.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Stromer_Rosenbergerstecker-buchse-Defekte.jpeg 1647w, https:\/\/wp.stromer-tech.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Stromer_Rosenbergerstecker-buchse-Defekte-300x214.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/wp.stromer-tech.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Stromer_Rosenbergerstecker-buchse-Defekte-1024x731.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/wp.stromer-tech.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Stromer_Rosenbergerstecker-buchse-Defekte-768x548.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/wp.stromer-tech.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Stromer_Rosenbergerstecker-buchse-Defekte-50x36.jpeg 50w, https:\/\/wp.stromer-tech.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Stromer_Rosenbergerstecker-buchse-Defekte-1536x1096.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/wp.stromer-tech.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Stromer_Rosenbergerstecker-buchse-Defekte-18x12.jpeg 18w, https:\/\/wp.stromer-tech.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Stromer_Rosenbergerstecker-buchse-Defekte-60x43.jpeg 60w, https:\/\/wp.stromer-tech.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Stromer_Rosenbergerstecker-buchse-Defekte-100x71.jpeg 100w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1647px) 100vw, 1647px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-ht-blocks-messages wp-block-hb-message wp-block-hb-message--withicon is-style-alert\">Clean the contacts\/socket with a lint-free cloth or compressed air.<br>Verwende keine Kontaktsprays, Fette, die \u00abAllzweckwaffe\u00bb WD-40-Multifunktions Smart-Straw oder mechanische Werkzeuge.<br><br>For corrosion on the socket or charging connector, use isopropyl alcohol and a fiberglass brush for cleaning.<br><br>Die Pins des Ladeger\u00e4tsteckers und der Akkufachbuchse sind gefedert und k\u00f6nnen durch mechanische Werkzeuge leicht besch\u00e4digt werden.

The so-called flat (discharge) charging stroke increases the service life of the battery and you are always ready for the next ride. The battery does not have to be discharged every time. There is no memory effect.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Do not run the battery completely empty and recharge it after a short period of use.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Avoid charging below 0 \u00b0C and above 40 \u00b0C battery temperature and in hermetically sealed rooms. Stromer interrupts the charging process outside this temperature window.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>When there's a sudden temperature change from cold to warm, condensation can form in the battery compartment, leading to corrosion at the bottom of the Rosenberger connection.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>If the battery is very cold, let it warm up to room temperature before charging.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Always place the charger on a safe and stable surface.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Do not charge the battery if the housing of the battery or charger is cracked or broken in any way.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>If possible, do not run a very cold battery. Warm it up first. Otherwise, there is also a risk of condensation forming in the battery compartment. If you have to start with a cold battery, do so with moderate assistance until the battery has warmed up a bit from riding.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Store the battery at room temperature, not on the bike, in very cold temperatures. Only install the battery in the Stromer for riding.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Treatment \/ Storage<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Treatment<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Opening the battery is prohibited<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The battery must be kept away from frost and heat, fire, sunlight, water and other liquids. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Do not leave the Stromer in the sun for long periods in summer.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Use a damp cloth to clean the battery, never use water or a high-pressure cleaner.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Do not store with metal objects that can cause short circuits<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Storage when not in use for an extended period<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Look at the <a href=\"https:\/\/cdn.sanity.io\/files\/odfp6kjd\/production\/a09491ee3e3fb2a85d1a1f539a2cf9dad15ecdd2.pdf\">Safety instructions<\/a> From electricity to the battery:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Store the battery in or out of the bike at 10 \u2013 15 \u00b0C.
