iBIKE BATTERY LIFE
New batteries have a voltage of about 3.00 volts. As the battery is used, or in cold
temperatures, the battery voltage will drop. The iBike battery should be changed when its
voltage is 275 or less.
In summer riding conditions (70
o
F+) the iBike battery and wireless mount battery will last
50 hours or more before needing replacement.
In winter conditions (45F or lower) the iBike battery and wireless mount battery are cold
and their performance drops. They will last 2-5 hours before needing replacement.
For temperatures below 40
o
F, we recommend that the iBike battery and wireless
mount battery be changed
every 4 hours
.
Batteries used in wireless sensors last about one year.
Each time the iBike is awakened from Sleep, the battery voltage is checked. If the
message “BATT BAD” appears, replace the battery immediately.
The iBike also checks battery voltage frequently during each ride. If the message “BATT
LOW” appears, change your battery soon.
IMPORTANT
: Your iBike will not work correctly if the battery is weak. Symptoms of a
weak battery include:
•
Incorrect power readings
•
Incorrect temperature readings
•
Incorrect/changing hill slope readings
•
Incorrect wind speed readings
•
Error messages appearing on the screen
IMPORTANT
: IF THE IBIKE BATTERY IS LOW,
REPLACE BOTH THE IBIKE BATTERY
AND THE WIRELESS MOUNT BATTERY
USING YOUR iBIKE IN COLD TEMPERATURES
For cold-weather riding carry an extra battery with you.
TO PRESERVE RIDE DATA, PERFORM A “TRIP RESET” PRIOR TO REMOVING YOUR
WORN IBIKE BATTERY.
