Intelligent electric bike battery secured by Camlock Systems

VARTA Microbattery GmbH is a European manufacturer of retail and OEM batteries. The company's batteries are used in a wide range of applications, encompassing automotive, computer, cell phones and medical equipment.

Another business area is the CellPac BIKE service which produces batteries for pedelecs (or "electric bikes') fitted with a lightweight battery, using lithium-ion rechargeable cells. The product is very robust in environmental and climatic conditions such as rain, heat or mud.

The battery compartment is secured with Camlock's 3015 pushlock. The six-disk tumbler lock provides good security. It has a push-to-lock action, a 45 degree locking movement, and the user-friendly double-entry key is trapped in the unlocked position. This ensures that the key cannot be lost while the battery compartment is open. A sprung horseshoe clip helps VARTA to achieve fast mounting.

Alex Stapleton, Product Manager at VARTA, says: "When we first started the project, we were looking for a suitable lock from a supplier who could be a helpful and supporting partner. Camlock Systems was able to fulfil these needs."
