I posted another thread about my first e bike, a trek conduit, having power reduction issues, but i also am having major battery drain issues. I don't know if it's related to the power problems or if it's normal battery issues due to cold weather. ( A the problems started in October when temps were still in the 50s and 60s° F before the weather turned cold, but has gotten significantly worse in cold weather. )
I live in Ohio, USA, and it get into the teens and single digit temperatures from Dec to april...
Can anyone tell me what one can normally expect to have as far as battery life reduction in temps below freezing ?
I went from having a range of 57 miles in eco, 52 in norm, 46 in high, to less than 35 in eco, 23- 26 in normal , and 15-17 in high, and when the temp is below 20 ° F, I'm lucky to get 15 or 17 miles from a full charge, even in eco.
I am having other power reduction problems and am trying to find out if this type of battery life reduction is normal in the cold , or if it's possibly related to whatever is causing the power issues. Shimano sent me a new battery to try to fix the power problems and this one dies much quicker than the original one.
Can anyone tell me what kind of power or range reduction they normally have when it gets cold ? What is to be expected ? And can I do anything to help it ?
