Battery Operation
PLEASE NOTE
Even with the battery locked in and turned off, the bike should be locked
using a high quality bike lock.
The battery used in this conversion kit is very
sleek in design and also very functional.
The way it attaches to its cradle, (which also
houses the controller) is by sliding the battery
down onto the cradle and locking it into place.
This may take a couple attempts at getting it
right however once in place it makes for a very
secure fitting that won’t rattle around during
use (a common problem with other systems).
With the battery mounted to the cradle, you
can now use the key to lock the battery in
place. The key is only used for the locking
function, it doesn’t turn the battery on or off,
in fact when riding it’s best you remove the
key and store it safely to avoid hitting it with
you knee (or worse, loosing it). Take one of the
keys off the key chain before you’re finished
and store it in a safe place. The keys are coded
so if you loose both you will have to ship your
battery back to Dillenger to have the barrel
replaced (not ideal!).
This battery comes with a USB port, which
can be used to charge your mobile phone or
anything else similar.
The battery should never be ridden without
being locked into the cradle. It should also
never be dropped or treated roughly.
If you’re battery is returned to us and has
signs of being dropped, this will void the
warranty.
Charging the battery:
1. Plug the charger into the wall socket/outlet,
just like a laptop of mobile phone charger.
2. Check that one of the charger indicator
lights glows green
3. Plug the charger, (battery end) into the
battery carefully, making sure it is all the way
in. Do not force it if there is an obstruction.
4. The charger indicator lights should glow red
whilst charging.
5. Once the charger indicator lights change to
1 red and 1 green, the battery is fully charged.
There is no way to over-charge the battery.
When it is full, the charger will stop charging
the battery automatically.
Charging time can vary from 1 to 5 hours if
fully empty.
The battery should be charged once every
month as a minimum to maintain healthy
cells.
The best way to charge your battery is to plug
it in after every use, and leave it on charge
until the indicator light shows the battery is
fully charged. It is not good practice to only
half or partially charge the battery.
