Handling and Charging the Battery

WARNING

BionX batteries shall only be recharged with BionX chargers or BionX power supplies.

Never short circuit the battery by connecting the contacts of the battery. Never open the

battery. This could damage the battery and possibly lead to overheating or ignition of the

battery. The battery cannot be serviced by the user. Opening the battery case voids all

warranty and product liability claims. Never use a battery which has obvious damage

to the housing or the connector.

Make sure that the battery is no longer connected to the power supply once the charging operation is

complete. The Lithium Manganese battery cells have a low self-discharge rate, therefore a continuous

connection of the battery to the power supply is not necessary. We recommend that you fully charge the

battery when it will not be used for a longer period of time, for example, before storing it for the winter,

and then recharge the battery at minimum every three months.

It is best to store the battery in a cool location at temperatures between 10 °C and 25 °C. Never store the

battery in locations where the temperatures can reach more than 45 °C or fall below -10 °C. The battery

should never be exposed to extreme temperature ﬂuctuations or humidity, and always protect the battery

during storage from humidity to prevent corrosion on the connectors. Never drop the battery, and protect

it from physical damage. Damage may lead to short-circuits, and as a result cause overheating or ignition

of the battery.

Used batteries may not be disposed of in regular household trash!

Be aware that used batteries must be disposed of properly!

DERBY BionX batteries can be returned at DERBY dealerships free of charge.

Charging the battery:

WARNING

Only use the BionX power supply that was supplied with the bicycle to charge the battery.

The use of other power supplies can damage the battery.

The BionX power supply should be used exclusively for rechargeable batteries of the

speciﬁed type. The use of the BionX power supply with batteries that are not rechargable

may damage those and could lead to overheating, or ignition of the battery. Keep the

power supply away from water or moisture when charging and/or connected to prevent

electrical shock or short-circuits.

Do not use a power supply that has obvious signs of damage to the cable, housing or

the connector.

BIO_Anleitung_OEM_DERBY_ENGLISCH.indd 7 13.05.11 18:25

Extreme temperatures will affect battery life, especially during charging. Avoid charging in direct sunlight

or in very hot or cold temperatures. This will reduce the life of the battery considerably. We recommend

charging the battery at temperatures around 20 °C (room temperature). The battery should be warmed to

room temperature before it is charged, particularly when it was exposed to cold temperatures during a ride.

The battery can be charged when mounted on the bicycle or removed from the battery docking station.

A Lithium Manganese battery does not have a memory effect, which means that the battery’s maximum

energy capacity is not affected if it is repeatedly recharged after only being partially discharged. The battery

does not need to be completely drained before charging. We recommend charging the battery after every

ride, preferrably when the battery state of charge display shows less than 50%. We recommend that you

fully charge the battery when it will not be used for a longer period of time, for example, before

storing it for the winter, and then recharge the battery at minimum every three months. When the

battery is depleted to the level where there is risk it could fall into deep discharge, the battery will signal that

a recharge is needed by beeping.

Power Supply

The delivered power supply is suitable for the voltage ranges

110-115V or 220-230V. There is no need to manually set the

voltage range.

Charging procedure

• Connect power supply and battery by inserting the charge connector into the touch port – the system

can be turned on or off

• Connect the plug of the power supply with the power outlet

• The battery touch port (LED ring around the charging connector) lights up according to the actual state

of charge of the battery and then turns to AMBER during the charging process

• After a complete charge the colour of the LED ring changes to GREEN. The battery is then fully charged

and the charging process is complete

• Following this procedure the charging connector should be disconnected

• During the charging process you can check the battery state of charge through the console if the

battery is connected to the system - system can be switched on while it is charged

The battery is fully charged after about 3 to 4 hours. Make sure that a completely charged battery is no

longer connected to the charger after the charging procedure is completed.

LED-Ring green = chargedLED-Ring amber = charging

BIO_Anleitung_OEM_DERBY_ENGLISCH.indd 8 13.05.11 18:25

Checking Battery State of Charge

• Swipe your ﬁnger slowly over the touch port.

• Battery state of charge LED will illuminate.

Assist Mode / Generate Mode

The BionX propulsion system operates in four assist levels in the assistance mode, and in four charging

levels in the generate mode. In the assistance mode, your pedalling is assisted proportionally by an

electric motor that drives the rear wheel. A torque sensor is located on the axle of the electric motor and

measures the effort provided by the rider; this produces natural feeling assistance from the motor.

When in generate mode the electric motor functions as a generator and recharges the battery. When

going downhill, you can regulate your speed by varying the generate level. This generate function

provides a certain braking effect, however it does not replace legally required brakes. If either one of the

two brake levers (depending on bike model) is pulled, the drive system automatically enters generate

mode. The range can therefore be extended up to 15%, depending on the road conditions.

Assistance Level (A) Degree of Assist Riding Situation

135% Riding on level ground

275% Slight inclines, head wind

3150% Steep hills, strong head wind

4300% Very steep roads

Generation Level (G)

Operating the BionX Propulsion System

Turn the system on

Brieﬂy push either the key or key. The battery will

beep 4times and you will see a countdown, this is the

system perfoming a self check. After startup, the system

is always in mode (no motor assist/bike operation).

To turn the system off, brieﬂy push . The battery will

beep 5 times. After 10 minutes of “no operation” the

system turns off automatically.

Select assistance/generate level

Push / key for more/less assist (see bar “ﬁelds 1-4”

above display “A”). From mode push key to

enter continuous generate mode.
