2016/2017 RadMini Battery Fuse Replacement Guide

The 2016/2017 RadMini battery contains fuses that can be replaced if you have been instructed to do so by Rad Power Bikes Product Support. Follow the steps below to replace the fuses in your battery, if needed.

Note: This procedure applies to 2016/2017 RadMini batteries only. Click here for instructions for 2018 and newer batteries.

 If you are not confident in your ability to successfully and safely perform all steps, we recommend having the work performed or checked by a local, certified, and reputable bike mechanic.

Tools Needed:

• Phillips head screwdriver
• Replacement fuses
  • 5A 250V ceramic fuse
  • 20A 250V ceramic fuse

1. Get the bike ready for maintenance. Turn off the bike, remove the battery, and press and hold MODE to discharge remaining power.
2. Set the battery on a solid surface with the battery key in the off and unlocked position ("C" in the illustration below).
   
   
   
   Do not touch the "+" and "-" terminal contacts on the bottom of the battery. Be careful to keep the exposed connector terminals clear of debris, and do not drop or damage the battery. In the case of damage to the terminals or battery mount, please discontinue use and contact Rad Power Bikes Product Support immediately. Never open the battery housing, which will void the warranty and can result in damage to the battery or property, or lead to serious injury or death.
3. Locate and remove the fuse cover securing the fuse in place.
   1. If the battery does not charge, replace the 5A fuse. Lift the battery handle and locate the 5A fuse cover (shown below) located just above the key barrel. Use a Phillips head screwdriver to carefully loosen the 5A fuse cover. Set the fuse cover aside.
      
      
   2. If the battery is charged but the bike will not turn on when the battery is installed, replace the 20A fuse. Use a Phillips head screwdriver to carefully loosen the 20A fuse cover (shown below). Set the fuse cover aside.
      
      
4. Carefully remove the fuse from the battery. Recycle the fuse according to local rules.
