How to Charge the Revolt RV BlazeX: A Step-by-Step Guide

The Revolt RV BlazeX is a powerhouse built for the urban "war" against rising petrol costs. But even a disruptor needs a recharge. One of the best things about the BlazeX is its flexibility—you can charge it like a pro, whether you’re in a high-rise apartment or have a private garage.

Here is your comprehensive, step-by-step guide to keeping your BlazeX juiced up and ready to ride.

1. The Two Ways to Charge

Before we start, know that you have two main options:

1. Direct Charging: Plug the charger directly into your electric bike (best for those with a garage or ground-floor parking).
2. Portable Charging: Remove the battery and take it inside your home or office (perfect for apartment living).

2. Step-by-Step: Direct Charging

1. Park & Power Down: Turn off the ignition and park your bike near a standard 15A power socket.
2. Locate the Port: Open the charging port flap on the bike.
3. Connect the Charger: First, plug the Revolt charger into the bike’s port. Ensure the (2+4) Male Connector is firmly seated.
4. Plug into Wall: Connect the 3-pin plug into the wall socket and switch it on.
5. Monitor: Check the digital dashboard or the MyRevolt App to see the charging status.

3. Step-by-Step: Portable Charging (Battery Removal)

If you don't have a plug near your parking spot, follow these steps to charge indoors:

1. Unlock the "Tank": Use your physical key to unlock and open the top storage/battery flap.
2. Safety First (The MCB): Locate the MCB (Miniature Circuit Breaker) switch inside and flip it to the OFF position. This is a crucial safety step.
3. Disconnect: Unplug the power cable from the battery terminal.
4. Lift & Carry: Use the sturdy handle to lift the 3.24kWh battery out. Don't worry—it’s designed to be portable!
5. Charge Indoors: Place the battery on a cool, flat surface. Plug the charger into the battery first, then into your home wall socket.

4. Charging Times to Remember

5. Tips for Better Battery Health

1. The 20-80 Rule: For the longest battery lifespan, try to keep your charge between 20% to 80%. Avoid letting it hit 0 frequently.
2. Cooling Down: After a long or spirited ride in Sport Mode, let the battery rest for 15-20 minutes before plugging it in.
3. Genuine Equipment: Only use the Revolt-approved CAN-enabled charger to ensure the Battery Management System (BMS) communicates correctly with the charger.
4. The MCB Rule: Always ensure the MCB is OFF before removing or re-inserting the battery to prevent sparking.

Conclusion

Charging the Revolt RV BlazeX is designed to fit your life, not the other way around. Whether you are "Parking & Plugging" or "Removing & Carrying," the process is as simple as charging your laptop. With the ability to hit 80% in just 80 minutes, you spend less time waiting and more time winning the "Petrol Pe War."
