DANGER:
Use only the 7.4v Li-Ion battery pack supplied with the lighting system.
Any attempt to use or charge another battery pack may result in explosion and
serious injury.
The battery charger is designed for indoor use only and should not come into
contact with water.
The mains socket should be easily accessible. In the event of any operational
error the plug should be immediately removed from the mains supply.
The battery charger contains dangerous voltages and the cover should not be
removed. Any attempt to open the charger will invalidate the warranty.
NOTE:
The rechargeable battery pack is supplied with a small charge for testing
purposes only. Therefore, it is recommended that the battery pack be fully charged
before first use.
To correctly charge the battery pack, ensure these steps are followed in order:
››
Disconnect the battery pack from the light unit by pulling apart the two mating
DC connectors. Always grip the connector heads when disconnecting, not the cables.
››
Plug the charger into the battery pack before connecting it to the mains supply(1).
››
Once the battery pack is connected to the charger it can then be plugged into the
mains power supply (2). The charger’s LED indicator will show as red during the
charging process. We recommend that the two mating connectors are rotated at this
point (3) to ensure that a good connection is made between the battery pack and
charger, and that the LED indicator turns red.
››
When charging is complete, the charger’s LED indicator will turn green.
Disconnect from the mains power supply before disconnecting the battery pack from
the charger.
NOTE:
If you attempt to place the battery pack on charge after only a short period
of use (ie. with the remaining capacity at around 75% or higher, with four indicators
lit on the LED display), you may notice that the battery pack will not begin charging.
This is not a fault. It is simply due to the software communication between the
battery pack and charger. The charger is looking for a battery voltage of lower than
8v before it will begin the charge process.
If this happens, simply connect the battery pack to the lamp unit and run
the lamp for a short while to further discharge the battery pack. It will then
charge successfully.
CHARGE TIMES:
A fully discharged 2600mAh battery should take approx
3 hours to fully recharge.
In order to prevent any malfunction within your Li-Ion battery pack and to
preserve the capacity as much as possible, there are a number of procedures
which must be considered when storing your battery pack for long periods while
not in use (ie. over the summer months).
STORAGE AND TRANSPORTATION:
Never carry the lighting system by the
cable. This could result in damage to the electrical connections and will invalidate
your warranty.
Always disconnect the lamp unit from the battery pack when not in use. When
the lamp unit and battery pack are connected there is a small amount of power
constantly running through the circuit which could – over a period of time – over
discharge the battery pack resulting in loss of battery function and capacity.
This will also prevent the lamp unit accidentally switching on and potentially
overheating, which could cause permanent damage to the lamp and battery.
In extreme cases, overheating could cause fire and/or death.
STORAGE TEMPERATURE:
The battery pack should be stored within
the temperature range of -20°C to 25°C in order to preserve cell capacity.
Ideally in a cool, dry room such as a cellar or garage.
OVER DISCHARGING:
As with most battery cells, Li-Ion cells may discharge if they
are not used for a long time. In order to prevent over discharging fully charge the
battery pack before you store it. Also, charge the battery pack periodically (ie. once
every 3-4 weeks) to maintain the voltage between 6.8V to 7.6V. Over discharging
may cause loss of cell performance, or damage battery function.
If these few procedures are followed correctly, you can be sure that when the dark
nights creep back in your HOPE VISION battery pack will be fit and raring to go!

LI-ION E.S. BATTERY PACK
FITTING INSTRUCTIONS
The ES (Energy Status) battery pack features a 5 stage fuel gauge.
Press and hold the ‘TEST’ button to activate the LED display. This gives
a visual indication of the remaining capacity within the battery cells.
The D rear lamp can be integrated into a HOPE Vision front lighting system by
using the supplied splitter cable. This gives you the option of mounting the battery
pack either at the front of the bike (i.e. on the stem) or at the rear of the bike (i.e.
under the saddle) by reversing the splitter cable. These options are shown below.
OPERATION OF THE LAMP
BATTERY RUN TIMES
NOTE:
When used with a stand-alone battery the lamp is designed to maintain a
constant level of light output until the battery voltage reaches a low threshold,
after which the lamp brightness will begin to dim. It will not shut down suddenly.
This is a deliberate safety feature to warn you of a low battery level, so we recommend
that once the lamp begins to dim you change or recharge the battery immediately.
*Please note that if the D rear lamp is plugged into a front light system it will shut
down with the front light when the battery is fully discharged. Therefore it is important
not to let the battery fully discharge.
