    Vado 5.0 SL: Decreased battery range after motor replacement

    Hi, If the 2nd number is power and not support, then it means that the battery is providing full power in every mode. That would substantially decrease battery life.My settings are 35/35, 60/60, 100/100. There is a YouTube video on this subject. Hope it helps. Best regards,
