Why

  • ✓ Both use Rad Power Bikes semi-integrated battery - Safe Shield Semi-Integrated 14 Ah / Advanced Semi-Integrated 15 Ah.

Good to know

  • Rad lists semi-integrated models as incompatible with its external batteries, and vice versa.
  • Radster Road/Trail (15 Ah) and RadRunner Max (14 Ah) are linked only to the pack Rad names for them.
  • Rad: Safe Shield batteries 'are compatible only with our updated Rad charger' - 'Do not use with older Rad Power Bikes chargers or any third-party or aftermarket chargers.'
  • Rad: 'Not for use on non-Rad Power Bikes branded ebikes.'
  • Safety: use only batteries and chargers the drive-system maker approves. Lithium batteries that don't match can overheat.
