    Battery starting to fail?

    My had to replace my display late last year with one from AliExpress. It worked fine up until a week ago, after my last battery charge. I have two chargers. One is similar to Grin's Satiator charger, with adjustable percentages and charging rates. The other, which came with my Hydra, is a...

    Battery starting to fail?

    I'll try installing the display from my Hydra on my UC Pro.

    Battery starting to fail?

    I put a meter on the battery and it showed 52.0 V (fully charged). My AliExpress display is obviously crap.

    Battery starting to fail?

    Interesting update: As I mentioned, on my last ride I drained the battery. I charged the battery up yesterday and mounted it back on the bike. to my surprise the voltage (on the display) read 57.7V and the percentage showed 92%

    Battery starting to fail?

    I mentioned the other ride, because it was very similar to the ride I did today, including the temperature and time of day. Also, 90% of my rides are in power level 1. I don't think I have much more than 3000 miles on this bike and I'm constantly switching batteries, so each battery only has...

    Battery starting to fail?

    A year ago I did a 72km ride and ended up with around 29% battery remaining. That was with an old display that was relatively actuate. Ballpark, I'd say the battery has deteriorated approximately 25-30%. :(

    Battery starting to fail?

    I took my UC Pro on a group ride today. Usually, I ride my regular road bike, or my e-gravel bike, but I decided to take my UC Pro to see how it would do on a 50+ km ride. About half way through the 77km ride my display icon turned red, informing me the battery had nothing left in the...

    Battery starting to fail?

    Voltage selection on the display is 48v-same as the battery. I hadn't ridden this bike for a couple of weeks, but up until the recent percent/voltage discrepancy the displace has always read in the 91% to 92% when I set the charger to 100%.

    Battery starting to fail?

    I received the bike in Oct 2021, so, if the batteries were new when they were shipped to me, around 2.5 years. I probably only have around 3000 miles on the bike. Probably less.

    Battery starting to fail?

    The display is set to 48V. What I can't understand is why the display shows 71% but reads 53.6 volts (the other battery) and the little battery icon also shows about 3/4 battery remaining. The battery capacity is 52V 17Ah. Both batteries came with my UC Pro, from Watt Wagons.

    Battery starting to fail?

    Thanks for the response, il Munduato. I used two chargers, just to make sure that the charger I usually used was producing the correct voltage output.

    Battery starting to fail?

    I have two 48 volt batteries for my UC Pro and charged both of them yesterday. One battery charged to 71% even though I set it for max % for a long ride. The other battery only charged to 64%. Voltage reading on the 71% battery was 53.9. If 100% is 54.6v shouldn't 53.9v be somewhere around 92...

    Help me decide - Used 2022 Cannondale left Neo Vs 2021 Trel Domaine HP

    Thanks for the link for the Lefty servicing. I'm WAY over the 50 hour mark, so it's probably time to service my Oliver fork.

    Help me decide - Used 2022 Cannondale left Neo Vs 2021 Trel Domaine HP

    I can't comment on the Trek, but I can comment on the Lefty, as I've owned one for 4 years. I'm not sure what you're eluding to when you say the lefty fork will need regular maintenance. Mine bike has just over 10,000km on it and I haven't touched the fork....and it works fine. Tire selection...

    How to Switch to Clipless Pedals

    I only use the flat side for short periods of time, where clipping in is dangerous. A couple of years ago I was riding my bike in the downtown of a large city, on a busy street, when I had to stop quickly at a traffic light. I didn't have time to unclip and fell over, just as a city bus was...

    How to Switch to Clipless Pedals

    @salaryman, if you're going to buy a pair of clipless pedals I'd recommend going with a pedal that has a clip on one side and is flat on the other side. That way when you're riding in heavy traffic, sandy soil, etc., you can unclip and ride on the flat side. The thing with being clipped in is...

    Installing Jones H Bar on Turbo Vado SL 5 EQ?

    I had a Chinese knockoff of the Surly corner bar on one of my bikes, but I didn't like how my Altus shift levers fit I in relationship to the brake levers). Even though I never rode the bike with the corner bar I liked how the bar felt while sitting on the bike. I've gone back to a straight bar...

    Installing Jones H Bar on Turbo Vado SL 5 EQ?

    Photo of my Moloko bar on my bike. I reused the long (and very comfortable) Jones end bar grips.

    Turbo Creo 2 Comp E5 (aluminum) is out, is a Vado SL 2 next?

    I agree with jabberwocky-having your bike converted to an ebike would be a option. Someone like @PedalUma (on this forum) could custom build you an ebike using your bike. His bikes look awesome.
