BKW Posted April 5 Share Posted April 5 I recently swapped out my old KS16X control board with another control board. I could swear I'm getting better miles after swapping. For example, and unrelated to temperature conditions, the battery seems to be lasting at least an hour or two longer when I'm doing deliveries. Before the motherboard update I was getting roughly 6-7 hours before I had to recharge; now it seems like I'm getting 8+ hrs. Is this something that happens? Has anyone experienced this before? A couple things: The original board I took out was actually a newer model control board than the one I replaced it with, so I'm not sure if a slightly older model had anything to do with better mileage? I'm fairly certain there was a recent King Song app update. I'm doubtful this had much an impact on the apparent mileage increase though. It might be that I'm spending less time riding around while doing deliveries, and more time at pickups/dropoffs/shopping, but even that doesn't sound quite right. Thoughts?

Ridden miles or time wo stops would be more relevant than time including stops... Different mobo versions or firmware versions should not grant some +30% range... Maybe voltage measurement is with both mobos "misadjusted" at opposite extremes so you can now deplete the batteries more? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The other day I went 12 hours doing deliveries on the KS16X, whereas before I could only do 7 hours. I think a lot of it has to do with spending more time at pickup/dropoff locations (not riding at these times), but still very strange to me. That's a huge difference, even if I were to count weather differences, etc Edited April 8 by BKW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
