Chaindrop Posted July 11 Share Posted July 11 I have always charged it to 80% max and I never let it go below 20%. But I've seen some posts about how EUCs should be charged to 100% every 5-6 rides to keep the batteries balanced. Does that apply to Inmotion EUCs as well?

mhpr262 Posted July 13 Share Posted July 13 Ideally you keep it between 40% and 80% when not ridden and charge it to 100% before every ride so that it can remain connected to the charger for an hour or three after you have reached 100%. That way the battery can balance before you go for the ride. It is worth keeping in mind that it is not really charging to 100% that is bad for li-ion batteries, it is remaining at 100% for a long time, weeks or months. And heat exacerbates that aging effect severely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skampster Posted July 17 Share Posted July 17 (edited) Yes, the funny thing about 80% charging is that people do this to avoid having a battery eventually degrade to only 80% capacity, but instead they run their wheel at 80% for the whole life while missing out on all the fun and safety of a 100% charged wheel. Even if you charge to 100% before riding every time, it’s more than likely that by the time you sell the wheel you won’t even get anywhere near 500 charges and 80% capacity,so just charge 100% before riding, making sure you don’t leave it at 100% unridden, go out and have fun. wheels with smart BMS that you can plainly see at any given moment if the cells are balanced You can charge only to 80% all day long if you prefer, but you still miss out on the thrill and range of 100% charging.
