Izip rack battery help

[Daniel thornton]

hi everyone I'm new to this stuff and new to electric bikes I have an izip with top rack mounted battery not side mounted it's a 24v 10ah Litiam ion phylion battery xh259-10j Dc25.9v.

Bike is Mint but the battery is goosed can these be fixed or replaced I understand that izip has pulled out of the UK I have also contacted phylion with no reply they advertise same battery code on there website but the picture looks different. Links or supply chain would be greatfull

You can use any 24v battery. Greenbikekit.com have some nice bottle batteries. You have to run the wires through to the compartment where your controller is on the front of the battery. You can leave the rack empty.

Hi d8veh is this a straight forward job or is the many wires are we talking just power supply or controller connections. Also many thanks for that info I will source a battery from them and give it a shot

On the back of that 4 slot connector are only two wires that go directly to the controller. There will be bullet connectors half way along that you can unplug.

The bottle batteries don't have anything connected, so you have to solder two wires on and run them up to the box where your controller is. There will already be a hole where you can bring the wires through. All you need then is to solder two bullets on. Alternatively, you can unsolder the two wires on the back of the 4-pin battery connector and join them to your battery wires. Whichever way you do it, it means four solder joints.

You should open up the controller box to confirm that what I have written is correct.

Perfect many thanks for your help I will get on with that and fingers crossed I will be up and peddling (or not) once again thanks for your advice and help

The only really important thing is to get your plus and minus wires the correct way round. You'll need a voltmeter for that.
