The 2X2’s power supply is interchangeable with other GenX5 KXH power supplies, meaning if you have more than one, you can swap them out to avoid charging downtime. Extra power supplies are available from UBCO Ltd or your UBCO dealer.
- Turn off the 2X2.
- Remove the battery strap and power plug.
- Using the securing key, unfasten the lock located on the rear right-hand side of the power supply.
- Lift the seat. Lift the power supply out of the 2X2 with two hands.
- Store on a stable, cool, dry surface.
How long will my power supply last?
The KXH Power Supply uses automotive class LG cells. These are selected for their cyclic durability and safety. Power supply performance and lifespan is affected by a range of factors, from everyday usage to environmental conditions. For normal users, the power supply should last a significant period of time. The pack life is measured in ‘discharge cycles’. The cells used are rated to retain 80% of their capacity after 800+ full discharge cycles (0-100%).
- Work Use: Using the average distance travelled on farm each day of 25km at full speed over the course of a year, battery capacity could drop 20% over the course of about 5.5 years (~50,000km).
- Recreational Use: Using the bike an average of 65km per week at full speed (~3,400km per year) battery capacity could drop 20% over the course of 15 years of use.
The cell performance will degrade in either high heat (60°C / 140°F) or very low temperatures (-17°C / 0°F). UBCO will operate a take back program for the power supplies when they reach their end of life, where they will either be repurposed or recycled
