The battery that your BH bike is equipped with contains lithium-ion cells and is the most advanced technology
available in terms of energy density (energy stored per kilogram of weight and per cm
3
of volume).
Lithium-ion batteries have the following characteristics:
•
Their performance decreases in extremely hot or cold environments.
•
An additional characteristic of BH's lithium-ion batteries is that they have no “memory effect”, and are not
affected by incomplete discharging.
•
They lose their charge naturally and gradually with use. The battery can be fully discharged (100%) approximately
500 times, with maximum battery deterioration of 20%. In the case of partial discharges, only the discharged
part is counted. For example, if you charge the battery every time its charge level falls by 25%, you will be able
to charge it to 100% of its initial capacity 2,000 times. In short, the guaranteed durability of the battery with
maximum degradation of 20% is at least 20,000 km.
DISPLAY OF THE XPRO BATTERY CHARGE LEVEL
The XPRO external battery boosts the standard 130 km range up to 175 km. By pressing the XPRO battery button,
a ring will be lit around the button. The colour of this ring indicates the XPRO battery charge level. Green 100-75%,
blue 75-50%, yellow 50-25%, red 25-10% and flashing red 10-0%.

Due to its advanced lithium-ion technology, there is no need to wait for the battery to completely discharge before
connecting it to the charger. Likewise, it is also not necessary to charge it to 100% before using it again. But bear
in mind that, in order to achieve a maximum operating range, a full charge is recommended.
Charging steps are described below:
1 0 0 - 7 5 % 2 5 - 1 0 % 7 5 - 5 0 % 1 0 - 0 % F L A S H 5 0 - 2 5 %

Garmin devices: Garmin devices also display the battery level on the interface:

A 100% charge can provide a range of up to 130 km. The battery charge level can be displayed in two ways: from the
central control panel or from a Garmin device. The battery charge level indicator shows the estimated remaining
battery capacity in all cases:
•
i-Remote: the four LEDs on the control panel show the charge level using LEDs, which will either be on or
off (see the image below). The LEDs will always display the colour of the selected pedal assistance mode.
The number of LEDs that are on and off will indicate the charge level, regardless of their colour. The capacity
of the XPRO battery will be combined with the capacity of the bicycle's internal battery and the display will
show the total charge of the assembly; the left LED will be lit in a different colour to the colour of the currently
selected assistance mode:
The range of the system will vary depending on the following riding conditions, among others: frequent starts
and stops, transmission ratio, numerous steep slopes, road surface in poor condition, carrying heavy loads,
strong wind coming towards the cyclist, low temperatures, degradation of the battery, use of the built-in
lighting system, incorrect tyre pressure, chain or brake settings.
