Our Powerplay
TM
models feature proprietary controls, motors, and battery
components. Some of these components are sensitive and require extra care. We
want to ensure that you have the most information possible. Please take note of
the following updated details related to the Rocky Mountain Powerplay
TM
battery,
recharging and care.
Failure to follow the instructions and guidelines in this section may result in damage
of electrical components on your bike and will void your warranty. More importantly,
failure to follow the instructions may result in serious personal injury or death.
General
• The batteries used in all Rocky Mountain Powerplay
TM
devices have all the required
certifications and a Battery Management System (BMS) that provides multiple levels
of fail-safes to prevent hazards. Despite these safety measures, a charged battery
that has reached extreme temperatures or a charging port that has sustained
damage can be dangerous, leading to electrical shock, fire, or injury.
• If your battery or charger shows any signs of damage, do not use it, and immediately
bring your bike to your authorized Rocky Mountain retailer for inspection.
• The battery and drive unit, along with other proprietary Powerplay
TM
components,
should only be serviced by mechanics that have gone through Rocky Mountain
Powerplay
TM
training.
• Do not allow any small, sharp, and/or metallic objects to come in contact with the
battery or the battery’s recharging socket.
• Do not modify, open, or disassemble the battery or charger.
• Never clean an Powerplay
TM
with a high-pressure washer or submerge the bike in
water. Rain and normal washing will not cause a problem.
•
Undamaged batteries will not release fluids or gases. However, in the event of
damage, battery fluid can cause skin irritation and burns, and battery gases can be
released and irritate the airways. In the event of skin or eye contact with any fluids or
gases from the battery, immediately flush with water and seek medical assistance.
• When transporting the bike on a car, if the battery is removed, ensure all
connections are covered to avoid contamination from road grit, water and salt.
