Battery Operation
PLEASE NOTE
Even with the battery locked in and turned off, the bike should be locked
using a high quality bike lock.
As previously mentioned in this manual, the battery is automatically in a “locked” state. Turn
the key to unlock the battery from its cradle. When the battery is unlocked, it can be removed
from the cradle for charging.
The battery charging plug is on one side of the battery and the On button and key hole are on
the other side of the battery.
Take one of the keys off the key chain before you’re finished and store it in a safe place. The
keys are coded so if you loose both you will have to ship your battery back to Dillenger to
have the barrel replaced (not ideal!).
The battery should never be ridden or turned On without being locked into the rack. It should
also never be dropped or treated roughly.
If you’re battery is returned to us and has signs of being dropped, this will void the warranty.
Turning Your Bike On/Off
Once your bike and conversion kit have been properly assembled and wired you will obviously
want to turn it on and ride! Ensure the battery is sufficiently charged and locked in, then press
the Power button (it will stay in and glow blue). Next, hold down the Power button on the
control on your handle bars until the display turns on. Now you are free to ride!
To turn off hold down the Power button on the control on your handle bars until the display
turns off, then press the Power button on the battery. It will release and the blue light will turn
off.
Charging the battery:
1. Plug the charger into the wall socket/outlet,
just like a laptop of mobile phone charger.
2. Check that one of the charger indicator
lights glows green
3. Plug the charger, (battery end) into the
battery carefully, making sure it is all the way
in. Do not force it if there is an obstruction.
4. The charger indicator lights should glow red
whilst charging.
5. Once the charger indicator lights change to
1 red and 1 green, the battery is fully charged.
There is no way to over-charge the battery.
When it is full, the charger will stop charging
the battery automatically.
Charging time can vary from 1 to 9 hours if
completely empty.
The battery should be charged once every
month as a minimum to maintain healthy
cells.
The best way to charge your battery is to plug
it in after every use, and leave it on charge
until the indicator light shows the battery is
fully charged. It is not good practice to only
half or partially charge the battery.
