Only have my E-Bike for around a month now and already having problems with battery
- Thread starter Slepx
- Start date
The electric lasts a minute or so then it shuts off forcing me to pedal with no assist. And it’s extremely hard to get going with no electric
This brand probably doesn't have the best battery cells in the world, but if you were trying to stress the cells you couldn't have done much worse than constantly leaving it charging every night. Hope you get a new battery under warranty and if you do you may want to take a look on how to maintain lithium batteries.

Bars are meaningless. Those on board meters are about 15 cents. The only way to intelligently discuss or trouble shoot is to have actual battery voltage readings. Please use a multimeter. Test the battery. Usually someone we know has one. But every EBike owner ought to invest $20 and have an auto ranging auto off multimeter. These days they are cheap and still accurate enough. We can learn to test for shorts and wire continuity as well as test throttle and brake cutout functions.
It may be a simple problem. But more info is needed.

!!Please stop!!
This is never a good idea. Even more risky with a battery that may have an issue.
I actually meant I’ve been plugging it in every since battery started going bad. When I first got the bike I charged it every 2-3 days
I don't know anything about multimeters, but with 3 ebikes and 4 batteries (trike has 2 batteries) it sounds like it would be good to have one in my tool chest. Is there an inexpensive one on Amazon you would recommend?

And if you put a meter on it, a 36V lithium ion battery will be no higher than 42,0 volts at max charger, and will run down to about 31V volts before the bike shuts it off.
Your charger should read 42.0 volts when not plugged into the battery, Most inexpensive meters will read to 2%, which is this case is about .1 volt.

It is Ancheer, not Archer. Although your point about low cost ebikes and the quality issues one might expect is correct, I think your comment is a bit harsh.
