APPENDIX 1 POWER & BATTERY
Older batteries have hardware that can make the battery
unable to take a charge, making it “lock up”.
• Batteries marked as “V1.2” are the older design,
more prone to locking
• Batteries marked as “V1.4” are improved, and
should not fail in this manner
Any “V1.2” batteries removed from cycles in the field
should be marked “bad/won’t charge” and sent back to
Matrix.
To check the charge of a battery, press the button on the
side. Each of the 4 LEDs that illuminate describe 25% or
maximum charge.
A functioning battery can be removed from the cycle and
charged with a standard USB-microUSB cable. To charge
multiple batteries at once, a device similar to this 5-port
USB Charger can be used.
Periodic charging is recommended when:
• The battery indicates less than 25% charge
• The bike has not been used for an extended period (~1 month or longer)
• The situation dictates that the bike must be useable while pedaling under 75 RPM for extended
periods
