8. The battery
There are two systems available for your
FLYER. One with 26V and one with 36V.
These two systems are not interchange-
able. In other words, you may not charge or
operate a battery from the other system in your
FLYER.
The battery of your FLYER 26 volt system is
a Li-Ion Ni Co manganese battery.
An even more state-of-the-art Li-Ion Al
battery is used in the 36 Volt system. This com-
bines the most advantages for use in a FLYER.
The main advantage of this type of battery is its
combination of low weight and large capacity.
You therefore save on weight but still enjoy a
higher battery capacity.
Both batteries are original Panasonic sys-
tem components and the vital charging and
monitoring electronics (battery manage-
ment system) have been optimally tuned to
8.1 Recharging the battery
The battery for the electrical motor of the
FLYER is located in a holder in the seat tube
below the seat.
8.1.1 Removing the battery
To charge the battery, it has to be removed
from its holder in the FLYER. To do this, take
the handle of the battery in your hand, place
the key in the battery lock and turn it
anti-
clockwise.
