5. Maintenance
5.1 Cleaning
Regularly clean the light body with a soft cloth. For stubborn dirt, use a damp cloth with mild soap. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents that could damage the finish or internal components.
5.2 Battery Care
- Always use high-quality 18650 rechargeable Li-ion batteries.
- Remove batteries if the light will not be used for an extended period to prevent leakage.
- Store batteries in a cool, dry place.
- Ensure batteries are fully charged before long rides to maximize runtime.
5.3 Water Resistance
The Fenix BC30 v2.0 is IP67 rated, meaning it is dustproof and protected against temporary immersion in water up to 1 meter for 30 minutes. While it is highly water-resistant, avoid prolonged submersion and ensure the tail cap is securely tightened before exposure to water.

6. Troubleshooting
6.1 Light Does Not Turn On or Flickers
- Check Batteries: Ensure batteries are correctly inserted with proper polarity and are fully charged. Replace with fresh, charged batteries if necessary.
- Battery Contact: Clean the battery contacts in the light and on the batteries with a clean cloth. Dirty contacts can interrupt power flow.
- Tail Cap: Ensure the tail cap is screwed on tightly. A loose tail cap can prevent electrical contact.
6.2 Light Turns Off on Bumps
- Battery Type: Ensure you are using 18650 batteries with a button top. Flat-top batteries may not maintain sufficient contact on rough terrain.
- Battery Fit: Verify that the batteries fit snugly within the compartment. If there is excessive play, consider using batteries with slightly larger button tops or adding a small, non-conductive spacer if safe to do so (consult Fenix support first).
- Mount Security: Ensure the quick adjust bike mount is securely tightened to the handlebar and the light unit is firmly clicked into the mount.
6.3 Wireless Remote Not Responding
- Battery in Remote: Check if the battery in the wireless remote needs replacement.
- Proximity: Ensure the remote is within effective range of the light unit.
- Re-pairing: If issues persist, consult Fenix support for re-pairing instructions if applicable.
If troubleshooting steps do not resolve the issue, please contact Fenix customer support for further assistance.
