The new e-bike range extender of battery manufacturer Tritek is ready to enter mass production. The small accessory fits in the drink holder and supports a 3-6A continuous output current to work as a charger for the existing battery pack. Using 10 Samsung 21,700 cells, it weighs 1.2 kg and has a battery life of 500 cycles. It can work as a portable charger or battery and, in both use cases, supports dual battery connections. The casing of the range extender is certified IP67, offering complete protection against dust, airborne particles and water. The range extender is supported by CAN bus communication and works with all systems, even those without communication. It has its own smart charger to communicate with the batteries and can switch current intuitively. As a solution for cargobikes, Tritek has developed the Hot Swap solution, which supports up to four pieces in parallel which switch power continuously.
