Chapter 8: Battery Management
This section describes your battery and similar to Chapter 3: Basic Instructions, section o. “Charging your battery”
but goes into further detail.
a.
About your battery
The Li-ion battery system of the G Plus Genesis 500 is the latest technology with a LiFEPO4 chemistry. This
battery is maintenance free with no serviceable parts. You must never open the battery as this will void the
warranty. Each battery has a specific serial number and barcode which can be found on the underside of the
battery. Please read the warning labels on your battery.
b.
Removing the battery
The G Plus Genesis 500 battery removes easily for charging or storing. The battery base utilizes an ignition key to
latch the battery in place to avoid theft and accidentally not latching the battery. The battery will not power the
bicycle unless latched in place. There are 3 points on the ignition for the key. There is the “UNLOCK” position which
locks the latching pin into the battery and allows the battery to be removed and the key can slide in and out. There
is the “OFF” position which latches the battery in place, the key can be slid out but the bicycle is not powered. The
last position is the “ON” position. The bicycle is now powered, the battery is latched and the key is cannot slide out.
