# How do I insert the battery into the Maeving RM1?

| Inserting the batteries into the Maeving RM1 is designed to be simple and user-friendly. Here’s how to do it: 1. **Locate the Primary Battery Compartment:** This is the silver rectangular section in the center of the bike. It opens to the right-hand side. 2. **Open the Compartment:** To open the primary compartment, turn the ignition off. Once you have done so, a five-second countdown will begin on the speedometer. During this time, hold the lock button (🔒) down to open the battery housing. 3. **Insert the Battery:** Slide the battery into the compartment, ensuring it is aligned correctly. The battery will connect automatically without the need for plugs or cables. 4. **Close the Compartment:** Push the compartment door firmly to lock it. Once it is closed, you can check the connection by turning the bike on. If it is connected, you will see the percentage of battery charge on the speedometer. If you have two batteries, you can add the second battery by following the same steps above. However, instead of holding the lock button (🔒), simply press it to open the secondary compartment. **Troubleshooting Tips:** - If the battery does not seem to fit, check for any obstructions in the compartment and ensure the battery is correctly aligned. - If the bike does not power on after inserting the battery, double-check that the battery is fully charged and properly connected. If you have any questions or need further assistance, please reach out to our Customer Service Team.
