I have a lifecycle recumbent bike, 9500hr, the panel will not work. Does changing this battery help

Yes, changing the battery helps. The instructions online practically said to take it completely apart which ended up not being necessary. You do not need to remove the pedals. I figured out the location of the battery by following the cable out of the console. Much easier than online instructions will lead you to believe.

Yes, it did for me. Although now I can't get the heart rate to register. I have not investigated if a connection came loose while changing the battery of if something needs to be reset. Good luck.

I don't know if this is the right battery for your model, but a new battery probably would work. I called LifeFitness customer service to figure out which battery I needed, they were very helpful. Whatever brand Life Cycle is would probably do the same for you.

There are 2 batteries in the bike. The panel is powered by a simple 9 volt battery. The rechargeable battery shown here provides the resistance for the wheel. However, if this battery runs down, the panel will not light. I would suggest trying to replace the 9 volt battery first since they are cheap. If that doesn't work and especially if there is little or no resistance when you start pedaling, then you may need to replace this one.

I believe that is the first option. The panel will not come on unless it has a good battery. Installation was a breeze. Good luck.

I don't know for sure but I replaced my battery for exercise bike and the battery looked similar to the one I had but had a different number. It worked just fine. It was six volts with 2.5 A but it's number was 9223w. That was different than the one I replaced and as I say it worked fine.

HiThe battery is in a compartment accessible from the bottom.Remove the panel.Undo the connections and slide it forward out of the compartment it is in.It's laying on it's side.Make sure you note which are the Positive and Negative poles and reconnect then the same way.http://i1238.photobucket.com/albums/ff491/nohjekim/Images%20for%20Tech%20Forums/BatteryChange_zps7c2c9260.jpgMike

So far Schwinn has been very good about getting back to me, but not so good in fixing the problem. I have replaced the control panel, nearly all the wires and the dc motor. It still doesn't work, but they are still working with me. If either of you have any luck, please let me know via this post.Thanks

Hi Skyhawk, you can send the unit for service if you wanted to replace the battery. Thanks -Sean

I have no idea...... I put the battery in the bike last October and didn't save the paperwork. I put it in a V-Star 650 and have not had any problems with the bike turning over. You would probably have to contact the manufacturer for that information.

It has to be deep cycle or other battery will die faster. If you mix several batteries together, make sure they are same condition, same model.

Phillis,I repair scooters and electric bikes and I would recommend them. You can purchase them on Amazon or Batterymart.comIf you are not really sure about what batteries to use, check your scooter itself or the manual it came with.If you dont have the manual, can assist you with that.Dave

I am sorry to report that something must have changed with production since June of 2013. I performed the exact same test that V.Bolinder did, and mine is dead. I opened it to see if, as others have mentioned, the panel was not attached. Oddly enough, it is soldered onto the board just fine. IN my opinion, the battery is not a rechargeable button cell. I am going to purchase some rechargeables of this size and replace, see if that works.

Time to replace the battery. The A23 batteries included with the system are junk. A couple of my sensors only lasted 3 months. I bought energizer brand as replacements.

How do I find out what is wrong with this battery? I did not know that you aren't supposed to use the regular battery tenders on these kind of batteries and I left it charging for a couple of days and now it is beyond dead. So if the tender didn't kill it, apparently (also read just now in the questions section) if it drops below 8% charge it is no longer anything but a paperweight? So tell me now if I should just go out and buy a new battery after wasting my money on the 1 ride I got out of this battery.

Hey Doug, Are you sure it's the ID same number on the new battery and is the battery is a Lithium rechargable. My battery says PBR 55D,3.7 VH, 1000 mAh rechargeable Lithium, the serial number is DC100715UD8. If it's the same then I think it's your power converter and maybe the recharge cord not fitting properly. My battery last about 2-3 days with normal activity like maybe 15-20 text per day, I'm hearing Impaired and use my phone for TEXTING ONLY,check the power cord and the connection, That all I can think of, Good Luck. E-mail me if you want joelted@comcast.net Joel

That's what I do...I run off the lithium battery until if gets low, then flip the switch over to the lead acid battery. I did have to change out the terminal, because my bike came with the bladed terminals and the lithum battery fits in with the buttoned terminal, but it was a cheap and easy fix.

the battery is not replaceable. make sure you refer to you're owners manual. mine had the same problem initially. its important to let it run dead a few times. it will explain everything further in manual.

I have had a unit for quite a few years. I thought my battery had died and replacements were expensive. Started looking at just getting a new unit. Then I put the battery back in and it has worked fine for what has now been a couple more years. Don't know what happened, might have been a connection problem????
