2018 Pedego Interceptor. Recently we had to have the black plastic housing sleeve AND the black battery case replaced due to an attempted theft of the battery. Everything went well however the LED Battery Level on the battery goes down extremely quickly, 1 bar left after 10Km, while the display on the handlebar showed lots of bars.
As a test my wife went out for about 19Km and reported that the battery showed only one bar left. I asked her to continue home and I'd follow with the car in the event she ran out of juice She made it all the way home with a total distance of about 40 Km. The LED Battery indicator was completely dead....no lights whatsoever while the display on the handlebar showed 3 bars left, which is more consistent with that distance and her riding.
Needless to say she's not comfortable going out for any distance in particular if she takes the dog in the trailer if she can't rely on the remaining power. I called a local Pedego store and explained this He said that there is a circuit board for that LED indicator on the battery and they have replaced some in the past however he said the the battery indicator on the handlebar controller is more accurate than that LED bar on the battery itself.
Anyone experience this sort of problem or can attest to the 'reasonable' accuracy of the handlebar controller for remaining battery power?
Thanks in advance
