Battery
The battery is an important element for the autonomy and the weight of the bicycle. It is for this reason that Bionx utilizes NiMH (Nickel Metal Hydride) and Li-Mn (Lithium- Manganese) batteries, each offering their own strengths an advantages. The battery makes it possible to have an excellent autonomy without adding too much weight to the bicycle.
Ni-Mh Advantages:
- Good energetic density (60-80 Wh/kg)
- strong
- safe
- flexible
Li-Mn Advantages:
- Very high energetic density (100-200 Wh/kg)
- Much lighter than the Ni-Mh
In addition to the battery cells, the BionX battery also includes electronic compoments that allow it to communicate with the other BionX parts (motor and command console).
