Installing battery on Juiced RipRacer

[ts8181]

I cannot for the life of me put my battery back in my bike! I’ve tried everything I can think of and it won’t go past the lug on top that locks it in, any help would be greatly appreciated. the bike is a Juiced RipRacer with a 52v 15.2 amp battery

I am not saying you did this, but one time I had trouble getting my battery back in. I had inadvertently turned the key to the lock position. Once I caught that operator error, the battery slid gracefully into the slot.

Another time, I tried putting it in one set of "notches" too high. I tried again, one notch position down, and it went right in.

On my RR, I turn the key in a bit to help. You also have to get a little momentum to get it to latch, I believe there is tension on the contacts that has to be overcome, and to bump past the latch. First couple of times was awkward, after that becomes more natural.

Thanks everyone I’ll give the suggestions a try.

I have 4 Juiced e-bikes. The battery sits low in all of them. It also causes a misalignment of the contacts which results in them arcing and eroding. You have to shim the battery up a little. I use 1 or 2 pieces of gorilla tape in the lower mount and the battery will go in and out with ease. No key turning needed

Thank you so much!!! I didn't want to break any of the contacts. I think the weight of the battery pushes down on the assembly over time and the contacts don't align well. My tip is to push up from the bottom of the battery towards the handlebars. Battery slides right in and latches perfectly. Juice should probably note this on their website because it really isn't a design issue; the battery is just heavy and pushes down the plastic over time.
