Using the Charger
Two types of battery charger are
used by BATRIBIKE. (Only one will
be supplied). Both have a charge
light which will display RED when
charging and change to GREEN
when the battery is charged.
The alternative type charger also has a second light
which shows RED when mains power is applied.
• Ensure the battery is switched off.
• Plug the charging lead into the battery.
The charging lead plugs into the charging socket
located beneath the rubber cover on the underside rear
of the battery casing.
• Plug the charger into the mains socket and
switch on at the wall outlet.
• The lights on the charger will illuminate after a
few seconds.
When charging is complete the RED charge light will
change to GREEN. May take up to 6 hrs for flat battery.
• Once charged, switch off at the wall outlet and unplug.
• Disconnect the charging lead from the battery and
replace the cover over the charging socket.
The battery does not have to be completely discharged before it is recharged. The
Lithium battery has no "memory" and therefore can be charged at any time. It is
perfectly acceptable to recharge the battery after a short ride so that the battery is
fully charged before the next ride.
NOTE:
If the battery is charged
and the charger left switched
on for an extended period the
alternative type charger will enter
a low power state, indicated by
both the RED and ORANGE/
GREEN LEDs flashing slowly.
Switch off and unplug as above.
BATTERY CARE & CHARGING
Your Batribike Electric Bicycle uses a Lithium battery for it's power and the
following points will directly affect battery life and performance.
Storage
Batteries do not like to be stored in very hot or very cold conditions or to be
subject to conditions of high moisture. They also do not like to be left in a fully
discharged state. If Lithium batteries are left flat for an extended period they may
no longer be functional.
• Store your battery between 15º C and 25º C
in a dry area. (The conditions found in a
normal domestic house).
• If your Batribike is not in use for an extended
period it is imperative that you charge the
battery before storage and then charge the
battery once a month to prevent deterioration.
Charging
Lithium batteries do not like to be left discharged.
It is good practice to recharge as soon as is
reasonably possible after the battery goes flat.
We recommend charging after every ride, that
way your electric bike is always ready for your
next outing.
• Do not charge at temperatures below 0º C
• Switch off the battery before charging, using
power switch located under rear of battery.
• Battery can be charged on or off the bike.
• Always make sure the battery and charger
are on a non-flammable, dry surface away
from sources of heat, humidity and flammable
materials.
• Do not cover the battery or charger whilst
charging.
• Only use the charger supplied with your
battery.
• Even if not in use recharge your battery a
minimum of once a month.
IMPORTANT
Plug the charger into the battery
before switching on at the mains.
Similarly, switch off at the mains before
unplugging the charger from the battery.
DO NOT LEAVE PERMANENTLY
CONNECTED
Removing the Battery
To remove the battery,
switch off at the power
switch underneath the rear
of the battery and then
unlock by turning the key
anti-clockwise and holding
there whilst sliding out the
battery from the rear of the
carrier. A handy set of
finger grips are provided to
make this easier.
For Your Safety
• Keep battery away
from children
• Do not dismantle
• Do not pierce or crush
• Do not immerse in liquid
• Do not expose to
temperatures over 60ºC
• Do not short circuit the
battery connections
• Do not leave unattended
whilst charging
• Do not sleep near a
battery that is charging

Battery USB Socket
On the end of the battery, opposite to the switch and charging
socket, is located a standard USB socket. This can be used as a
power supply for small USB powered devices such as mobile
phones and cameras. It is primarily intended as an emergency
power supply should your devices on-board battery run low. It is
not designed for long term usage as a power supply.
To use the socket, the battery must be removed from the bike.
Switch off the battery before unlocking and removing. Plug in the
USB lead then turn on the main battery power switch. Ensure that
the power is switched off before unplugging the USB lead.
Note: This is an output source and should
not be connected to a USB charger.
Please consider the environment before disposing of any part of your
Batribike Electric Bicycle.
The Battery Pack contains
Lithium and Special
Consideration should be given
to its safe disposal.
Your Local Authority should
have the necessary facilities in
place.
If you prefer you may take your original battery to BATRIBIKE for recycling.
Never dispose of batteries in a fire or subject to puncture or crushing.
Battery Meter
The battery has a useful meter located on the top rear surface.
This is handy when the battery is not fitted to the bicycle as it gives
an indication of resting charge level.
To operate the meter, press and
hold the centre button and the
LEDs will light to show an
approximation of the remaining charge in the battery.
The Battery Switch, (located on the underside of the battery), must
be switched to the ON position to operate the meter.
