em1barns Posted May 12, 2018 Share Posted May 12, 2018 I thought I would start a new topic so @Bobwheel and @Jeffrey Scott Will can get community feedback. Overall, it is a very good incremental improvement, and the landing page is finally the vehicle one. First notes (will add more over time): - after 7km on v8 and 60wh consumed according to the app, the battery still shows 100%. It was the same on the former app, so I guess battery level is based on voltage. - similarly, estimated remaining mileage stays at 50km Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you fully charged your wheel (especially if you left it on the charger) to 84V then you can ride several miles without the percentage dropping. This is a firmware thing. Not sure what they can do about the estimated mileage other than assume that after you ride some more it may take those initial 'free' miles into account.

When charged to 84v, I am only at 90% actual capacity, ie if I continue charging, I can add 48wh. I don’t have the same issue with my Ninebot s2, so probably some improvements are required at the bms level. In any case, displaying 60wh usage and 100% battery on the same screen is misleading.

houseofjob Posted May 12, 2018 Share Posted May 12, 2018 Full charging my V10F with charge doctor shows 84.7V FWIW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
novazeus Posted May 12, 2018 Share Posted May 12, 2018 when i go to settings, the first screen that pops up is inmotion warning me not to go faster than 14mph and the speed slider is rest to 14mph. i move it to 24mph and exit. everytime i open the settings page, same thing. haven’t tried running it to see if my higher speed stayed locked in.

In any case, displaying 60wh usage and 100% battery on the same screen is misleading. 84v is just under the voltage where the constant voltage decreasing current stage of charging kicks in. It is fair to say that this is when the remaining 10% of capacity is crammed in. I understand you frustration but this is the issue with determining capacity from voltage alone. Only if they used smart batteries that monitored Wh in and Wh out would you get a more accurate mileage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe the diode results in an artificially high reading on the charger side of the diode. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jrosenzweig Posted May 14, 2018 Share Posted May 14, 2018 @Bobwheel and @Jeffrey Scott Will noticing the latest Android app v7.0 is using almost 2%/hr when not in use, hopefully you have seen this or have a idea on mitigation. I'm running a note 8. Thanks, Jason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe it would be better if it just does it under recording your ride. Other than that, it shouldn't. Especially while in the background. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jrosenzweig Posted May 14, 2018 Share Posted May 14, 2018 @z3n Totally agree and I could restrict background use but then I wouldn't be able to record a ride.. Hopefully it get's fixed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
