LiGo 10X User Manual Rev 1.0 1 Introduction The LiGo 10X is a modular 36V battery system designed to enable air travel with ebikes and other micro-mobility devices. The modules stack and lock together to create useful battery packs between 300-600 watt-hours and readily disassemble to individual 100 Wh bricks that can be transported with carry-on baggage aboard passenger aircraft.

Tweezers or other small prongs can work as well. 5. Button: A momentary button engages various battery functions like showing charge level, waking from sleep, or enabling Bluetooth.
LiGo 10X User Manual Rev 1.0 possible but not recommended as they may put undue strain on the connection points during rough handling. To disassemble the batteries, reverse the process. First, rotate the twist locks until the seam lines up with the battery joint. Then depress the two push latches with your fingers while pulling the packs apart.
In this situation, all 5 LEDs will simultaneously get bright together, followed by a heartbeat pulse showing the charge level. Figure 5: Short press will also wake up a LiGo 10X that was in sleep mode. 4.3 Triple Press (Bluetooth)
LiGo 10X User Manual Rev 1.0 Holding the button down for over 6 seconds will force the LiGo 10X to enter shutdown sleep mode. All LEDs will go solid red and then fade out. Once in sleep mode, the LiGo module has almost no self discharge current and can can be stored for years without losing charge.(See section 9.4)
3X Red Flash – Under Voltage: If the LiGo 10X is fully discharged to the low voltage cutoff, then the red LEDs will blink 3 times and the output will be disabled until some amount of charging has taken place or the voltage recovers sufficiently on its own.
Rev 1.0 6 Installation and Rail The assembled LiGo 10X battery pack can be easily strapped to your vehicle in a soft padded bag, with an XT60 terminated cable harness connected to the motor controller. This often works well for small packs of 2- 4 modules and looks discrete as no external pack is visible.
LiGo 10X User Manual Rev 1.0 6.2 Dock Options At the back of the rail there are two docking options, either with or without Grin's Baserunner controller mount. Both include an ST3 port for charging using Grin's existing charge plug standard. The Basic Dock is plastic and has a flat DC cable terminated with Anderson Powerpoles for an external controller connection.
Rev 1.0 7 Charging The LiGo 10X modules can be charged with any generic 36V lithium battery charger (42V full charge output) that is terminated with the appropriate mating connector. For the sake of cell longevity, we do not recommend charging at more than 3 amps (~1C) per module.

9 Additional Details 9.1 Matching Charge Levels We recommend that you connect LiGo 10X modules when they are at least in a somewhat similar state of charge, generally within 2-3 volts of each other. In that scenario the flatter modules get charged up from the more charged modules for a short period of time until all the voltages are equalized.
That allows it to be stored almost indefinitely. The LiGo 10X can also be forced into sleep mode at any point by holding down the button for 6 seconds. In sleep mode, the circuitry is entirely turned off and it cannot accept any charge current either.
9.6 Regen Current Although the maximum recommended charge current is 3 amps per module, LiGo 10X batteries can handle short duration charge currents at up to 10 amps per module as experienced during regenerative braking. The BMS circuit can detect based on the current profile if the charging current is coming from a conventional battery charger or from regen.
