How do I charge a Slinker E-bike? All Slinker Model e-bike batteries are charged by plugging the D-Power DC plug to the receiver, which is located under the seat. Once it is attached, you can connect the other end of the plug into an AC wall outlet.
If you cannot place the e-bike next to a wall outlet, then you can disconnect the battery connector, which is located at the bottom end of the seat-post. Twist-off the adapter until it detaches, then open the seat post using the quick release lever and slide out the seat post. Then you can take it with you to charge as described above.
After charging the battery you can slide the seat post back on the e-bike, use the quick release to adjust seat to desired height and close the quick release lever. Then reattach the twist connector to the bottom of the seat post and secure it tightly.
