Kryziss Posted June 12, 2020 Share Posted June 12, 2020 I know I must wait 15 minutes before and after charging to use the wheel. While I charge it, if for example the app says 90%, I unplug it and wait 15 minutes it will then display around 82%. The opposite goes for after riding. Say I stop at 42%, wait 15 minutes and check again, I will then see maybe 51%. I know battery % are never completely accurate but are these numbers within what should be expected? If it's normal I don't mind the problem because I am aware of how it behaves and I can deal with it but I would like some reassurance. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FreeRide Posted June 12, 2020 Share Posted June 12, 2020 (edited) absolutely normal, Charge to 100% and ride. Don't think that just because your battery gauge says you have 50% remaining that you can go as far and as fast as you have just been. Few devices have real battery gauges that are accurate in terms of capacity. There are a lot more than there use to be (cellphones and EVs the exception), but no EUCs for as far as I know.

This is only "accurate" if one lets the battery settle long enough. The percentage is not taken from the "real" limits of the battery so they battery % are "skewed" from the real state of charge. Depending on ones riding style riding with low battery % is not as much fun anymore... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
