3. Setup and Installation
Proper installation is crucial for the battery's performance and safety. Ensure your electric bicycle is compatible with a 36V battery system and has the appropriate mounting points.
Compatibility Check:
Before purchase and installation, verify that your motor model (e.g., 36V) and battery specifications (capacity, power, size, 2-pin/5-pin connector) match. If your original battery is 24V, you must select a new 24V battery. Do not attempt to use a 36V battery. Batteries of different voltages are not compatible.
Installation Steps:
- Prepare the Bicycle: Ensure the electric bicycle is turned off and stable.
- Mount the Battery Base: Securely attach the battery base to the designated area on your bicycle frame using appropriate fasteners.
- Insert the Battery: Align the battery with the mounted base and slide it into place. Ensure it clicks securely.
- Secure with Lock: Use the provided key to lock the battery to the frame. This prevents accidental detachment and theft.
- Connect Cables: Connect the battery's power cable to the bicycle's motor system. Ensure a firm connection.
4. Operating Instructions
Once installed, operating the battery is straightforward.
Powering On/Off:
- Locate the red power switch on the battery.
- Press the switch to turn the battery ON. The bicycle's electrical system will now be active.
- Press the switch again to turn the battery OFF when not in use or for storage.
Using the USB Port:
- The integrated USB port allows you to charge compatible electronic devices (e.g., smartphones) while the battery is powered on.
- Connect your device's USB charging cable to the USB port on the battery.
5. Charging Instructions
Always use the provided 42V charger for your SDTYYP 36V 10.5Ah lithium battery. Using an incompatible charger can damage the battery and pose safety risks.
Charging Process:
- Connect Charger: Plug the charger into a standard wall outlet. The charger's indicator light may turn green.
- Connect to Battery: Connect the charger's output plug to the charging port on the battery. The charger's indicator light should turn red, indicating charging is in progress.
- Monitor Charging: Allow the battery to charge fully. The charger's indicator light will turn green when charging is complete.
- Disconnect: Once fully charged, disconnect the charger from the battery first, then from the wall outlet.
The built-in BMS prevents overcharging, but it is recommended to disconnect the charger once the battery is full to prolong its lifespan.
