Getting started

What is BikeBatt?

BikeBatt is a pre-ride readiness checklist for cyclists with electronic components. It helps you track battery levels across all your devices (shifters, power meters, lights, radar, GPS, headphones), check tire pressure, and remember essential gear — all in one place before you ride.

How do I set up my bike?

On first launch, BikeBatt comes pre-configured with a typical road bike setup. Go to the Settings tab to choose your shifting system (SRAM eTap, SRAM eTap AXS, or Shimano Di2), and the Devices tab to enable/disable items and customize brands, models, and battery check instructions for your specific gear.

How do I log a battery level?

On the Pre-ride check tab, tap the pencil icon next to any device. This opens the logging screen where you can set the battery percentage using the slider or quick-set buttons. The "How to check battery" section shows you where to find the battery level on that specific device.

Battery tracking

What do the colors mean?

Green (60-100%) means good to go. Orange (20-59%) means getting low — consider charging before your next ride. Red (below 20%) means critical — charge or replace before riding.

How do I track SRAM CR2032 battery life?

For devices with replaceable batteries (like SRAM eTap shift levers), use the "Replaced battery" button when you swap in a fresh CR2032. Over time, the app builds a history of how many days each battery lasted, so you can predict when the next one will need replacing.

My shifting system uses rechargeable batteries, not CR2032s

Go to Settings and select your shifting system. The original SRAM RED eTap uses removable rechargeable batteries on the derailleurs (charged via USB cradle) and CR2032s in the hood levers. SRAM RED eTap AXS uses CR2032s in all four components. Shimano Di2 uses a single built-in rechargeable battery.

Pre-ride checklist

What's the progress ring?

The circle at the top of the Pre-ride check tab shows how many devices you've checked off. When all devices are confirmed, it turns green and shows "Ready to ride." Tap the Reset button to start a fresh checklist before your next ride.

How does tire pressure work?

Tire pressure items show a PSI input instead of a battery percentage. The app shows a target pressure (default 90 PSI for road bikes) as guidance. Color coding is relative to the target: green if you're close, orange if you're drifting, red if you're way off.

What about the gear checklist?

The Gear section is for items you need to pack when driving to a ride — shoes, helmet, glasses, gloves, sunblock, nutrition. These are simple yes/no checks. Seasonal items like shoe covers are disabled by default but can be turned on in the Devices tab.

Data and privacy

Where is my data stored?

Everything is stored locally on your device. BikeBatt does not use any cloud services, does not require an account, and does not make any network requests. Your data never leaves your phone.

How do I reset my data?

Deleting and reinstalling the app will reset all data. You can also reset individual device logs from the device detail screen.

Will my data sync to a new phone?

Currently, data does not sync between devices. If you get a new phone, you'll need to set up your devices again. Cloud sync is on the roadmap for a future update.

Troubleshooting

The app doesn't show my devices

If the pre-ride checklist is empty, go to the Devices tab and make sure your devices are enabled (the Active toggle should be on for each device you want in the checklist).

I want to add a device that's not in the default list

Go to the Devices tab and tap the + button to add a custom device. Choose the appropriate category, battery type, and add your own "how to check" instructions.
