Already described above, but you may notice this during the winter. If the range
is significantly reduced, it could be because the battery is operating in much
lower temperatures.
Your battery could possibly benefit from a complete conditioning cycle, this
allows the battery to re-learn its full capacity and charge state. Please read the
information below.
SHOULD I PERFORM A FULL CONDITIONING CYCLE OFTEN?
-
No, the battery is very
intelligent, the on board BMS takes the hassle away to make a really user-friendly
battery. Really all you have to do is charge it and the system will take care of the
rest. The BMS will self-balance the cells when charging, it will control everything
from deep discharging, over charging through to short circuiting. If you do wish to
perform a full conditioning cycle then you can do this by simply discharging the
battery completely by riding it until it is flat, then charging it back up fully with no
interruptions. This can be done twice in a row to make sure it has fully conditioned.
This is not recommended to do all of the time. Once a year is sufficient it’s not
necessary in most cases.
