Same issue with my new turbo x battery. Died last week. No word on when a replacement is available.

OK much better. 15.5 mi, left with 60% charge. Much closer to 20w/mi estimate. I think the pad drag was the key. It was not enough to initially notice due to the weight of the bike. But now it coasts for 150 feet easily. I dialed down to eco50 and kept my speed around 22. No headwind...
