Avalanche Airbag Package

The E2 Airbags uses a supercapacitor to power the fan that inflates the airbag. The supercapacitor is not affected by low temperatures like chemical batteries are.

The fully charged supercapacitor will deploy the airbag 1 (one) time.
After deployment the supercapacitor will need to be recharged via either the USB cable or installed 2 AA batteries (OER Includes 4 NEW AA batteries with every rental).
Alkaline AA batteries will recharge the supercapacitor 1 time
Lithium (non rechargeable) AA batteries will recharge the supercapacitor 3 times.

How to make sense of all of this:
– When you receive the bag check the charge level of the supercapacitor and recharge fully if necessary
– Test/practice deploying the airbag without any AA batteries installed.
– Install the AA batteries and recharge the supercapacitor via USB cable (20-40 minutes) – the USB take precedence over the AA batteries for charging the supercapacitor
– Before riding for the day, make sure AA batteries are installed and supercapacitor is charged >> if the bag is deployed during the day, the supercapacitor will automatically recharge off of the AA batteries, taking 40-80 minutes – do not rely on the airbag until fully recharged.
– Always ride with a fully charged supercapacitor and new AA batteries installed.
– OER includes 4 NEW AA batteries with every rental (likely 2 installed already, but always check!), but you should always carry and have extras. You can also charge the supercapacitor using the USB and a battery pack (like a cell phone charging pack).
