Removing the battery
(SEE PHOTOS)
The battery locking system is a simple spring loaded latch. The latch (cylinder bolt) is controlled via a key lock
mounted on the left side of the frame’s down tube. When the lock’s keyhole is vertical (12 o’clock position), the
battery is locked in. When the keyhole is turned cloc
kwise horizontally (3 o’clock position), the battery can then be
released. Turn the key clockwise to release the spring latch and pull on the battery to remove.

Powering the battery ON / OFF
(SEE PHOTOS)
The key to the Phantom XR is only to Unlock and Release the battery. The key does not power the battery ON or OFF.
To power the battery ON or OFF, simply push the rubber panel switch at the top of the battery. The LED lights will come
on and display battery capacity. If the battery is mounted on the bicycle, the Throttle LED lights will also light up. If the
battery or throttle LED lights do not come on, charge the battery for a minimum of 8 hours as outlined in
section b)
.
f)
Battery Fuse
On the rare occasion the battery does not charge after 8 hours, the fuse or charger
may need to be replaced. The fuse is an automotive 30A Blade fuse and located at
the bottom side of the battery. (SEE PHOTO)

Storing the battery
The Li-ion battery the Phantom X R utilizes is the latest technology in Li-ion battery
cells. It is recommended that you do not store the battery in hot conditions. If the
bicycle is being stored indoors in a cool environment, the battery should be stored
on the bicycle in the “OFF” position. The battery should be kept away from fires or
sparks and also away from possible water damage. The battery is water resistant
and not water proof. Avoid wet conditions such as rain or cover your battery in the
rain. Store the battery in a cool dry place and charge to a maximum 80%
every 90 Days.

Battery power indicator
The Phantom X R has a 3 LED light indicator on the handlebar throttle
displaying the battery capacity available. The LED indicator on the throttle is
explained in
Chapter 4: Electrical Components, section c
) “Throttle”.
There is also an LED battery indicator on the battery itself. The indicator on
the battery has 4 LEDs lights displaying 4 levels of remaining voltage. When
pressing the Battery ON / OFF rubber panel switch at the top of the battery
to the ON position, the indicator will light 1, 2, 3 or 4 LED lights according to
the remaining voltage in the battery. 4 LED lights if 75% to full charge.
The voltage needed to power the motor is a minimum of 30V. When the
battery is depleted to 30V, all LED lights will turn OFF and the battery will
shut down. If only 2 LED lights remain, the battery is now at > 50%
depletion and must be recharged.
