Technical Specifications
| Specification | Value |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage | 100-240V AC, 50-60Hz |
| Output Voltage | 60V / 67.2V (full charge peak) |
| Output Current | 10 Amps |
| Charger Type | Li-Ion smart charger |
| Compatible Battery | 60V Panasonic lithium-ion (32Ah, 34Ah, or 40Ah) |
The 67.2V peak output is critical—the fully charged voltage of a 60V lithium battery reaches approximately 4.2V per cell (16S configuration = 67.2V) . Smart charging circuitry automatically stops charging when the battery reaches full capacity .
Fast Charging Times
The 10A charger significantly reduces downtime compared to slower 2A or 4A chargers:
| Battery Capacity | Approx. Charge Time (0-100%) |
|---|---|
| 60V 32Ah (standard) | 2.5 – 3.5 hours |
| 60V 34Ah (road-legal) | ~3 – 3.5 hours |
| 60V 40Ah | ~3.5 – 4 hours |
This fast charging capability allows you to recharge during a lunch break and get back on the trails within a few hours.
Sur-Ron Light Bee X Battery Compatibility
This charger works with all OEM Sur-Ron 60V battery options:
| Battery Option | Capacity | Cell Type | Typical Use |
|---|---|---|---|
| Standard | 60V 32Ah | 176 Panasonic 18650 cells | Off-road Light Bee X |
| Road-Legal | 60V 34Ah | Panasonic cells | EU/UK street-legal version |
| Premium | 60V 40Ah | Panasonic 21700 cells | Extended range version |
| High Performance | 60V 37Ah | Panasonic cells | 2,310Wh road-legal battery |
All 60V batteries share the same charging port specification, making this charger universally compatible across the Light Bee X lineup .
How to Use the Charger
Step-by-step charging instructions:
- Connect the charger to the bike’s charging port (located near the battery compartment)
- Plug into wall outlet (110V or 220V compatible)
- Monitor indicators — LED typically shows red while charging, green when complete
- Unplug when finished — smart charger stops automatically at full charge
Pro tip: For maximum battery lifespan (approximately 500 cycles), avoid consistently draining the battery to 0% before charging . Regular partial charging (40-80%) extends battery life .
OEM vs. Aftermarket: Why Choose Original?
While cheaper aftermarket chargers exist, the OEM 60V 10A charger offers several advantages:
- Perfect voltage match — Delivers the exact 67.2V peak required, avoiding under/overcharging
- Built-in safety — Smart circuitry prevents overcharge, short circuit, and overheating
- Correct connector — No adapters or wire splicing needed
- Proven reliability — Tested specifically with Sur-Ron’s battery management system (BMS)
Using an incorrect charger can damage the BMS, reduce battery lifespan, or create safety hazards .
