NEW INTERNATIONAL BATTERY INSTALLATION
All international customer bikes come with a pre-drilled Pelican case that is already mounted
to the battery rails. All that remains is installing the blue battery shipped to you direct from
LiTech Power. This is performed via the following simple steps:
1.
Remove all packaging on the LiTech battery. You should be left with a blue outer
battery shell.
2.
Place the battery inside the case and thread the wire connectors through the 2 holes
predrilled in the case.
3.
Open the small plastic bag containing the 4 half plugs you will need to completely seal
the connectors.
4.
Start by applying silicone to the outer edges of each half.
5.
Insert one side of each plug and press the connector wires into the grooves of the
plug.
6.
Insert the other half of each plug using care to not crimp or cut the wires.
