  • 5V USB output (Max. 2100mA) for fast mobile phone charging.
  • IP67 waterproof grade.
  • Integrated USB output switch and battery indicator.

2. Setup and Installation

2.1 Battery Installation

The EB02 is designed exclusively for 18650 batteries. Ensure you use button-top 18650 rechargeable batteries with a Protection Circuit Board (PCB) for optimal performance and safety.

  1. Open the battery compartment by unscrewing the top cap.
  2. Insert four 18650 batteries, paying close attention to the polarity markings (+ and -) inside the compartment. Incorrect battery insertion will burn out the circuit.
  3. Securely close the battery compartment by screwing the top cap back on.

4.2 General Care

  • Keep the unit clean and free from dust and debris.
  • Store in a cool, dry place when not in use.
  • Avoid dropping or subjecting the unit to severe impacts.

5. Troubleshooting

  • Unit not powering on or charging: Ensure 18650 batteries are inserted with correct polarity. Verify that the 8.4V DC adapter is properly connected and functioning when charging the unit.
  • Device not charging via USB: Make sure the USB Output Switch is turned on. Check the USB cable and the connected device.
  • Bike light not receiving power: Ensure the DC cable is securely connected to both the EB02 and the bike light. Verify the bike light is compatible with an 8.4V power source.
  • Overheating: If the unit feels excessively hot, disconnect all devices and allow it to cool down. Ensure proper ventilation during use and charging.

8. User Tips

  • Battery Compatibility: Always use 18650 batteries with a Protection Circuit Board (PCB) to ensure safety and proper function.
  • Charging Adapter: It is crucial to use an 8.4V adapter for charging the EB02. Using adapters with different voltages (e.g., 12V) may damage the unit.
  • Battery Configuration: The EB02 is designed for a specific internal battery configuration that results in an 8.4V output. Do not attempt to reconfigure the batteries in series to achieve higher voltages like 14.8V, as this is not supported and could damage the device or batteries.
  • Polarity Check: Double-check battery polarity during installation. Incorrect insertion can lead to immediate circuit failure.
