You happen to know how many miles you've put it so far with no battery degrade? I figure I have lost between 10-15 km's on a charge. Still looking for a possible source of the issue. Could be the lights, could be the rain, could be a tad heavier winter rain gear load. Overall, there still seems to be some battery overall loss though. Will be doing a battery swap soon to see if is my bike or the battery.
This was a huge discovery IMHO. I ended up travelling uphill at a blazing 3km/hr.. for all those people looking for slower speeds hehe.. here it is. It gave me the giggles. It's great to know that walk assist can be engaged when your worried about lunging forward. I anticipate using this function lots in hairy times.
) based on my experiences to date, you may be able to achieve up to 28 miles in temps between 55-65F (no rain) with a weight limit up to 185lbs (including gear) without lights & without major hill elevation being the objective AND without excessive PAS levels and speed use on a freshly charged new-ish battery. The gentler the slope and closure to optimal battery operating temps the longer. I've gone 37 miles on a single charge and probably could have squeezed a few more out in prime conditions (ie. not using max speed/PAS 7-9). 
Inside the monitor settings(double click Power Button to reach) of the Mariner(and Yukon for that matter) are some symbols I have not been able to un-code. Anyone able to help?
It's an APT 800S of some kind. It appears to have more functions than the 2013 manual suggests.. I can't find a few of the codes and what they mean. Here is what I've got so far:
S7 - (km/mi)
bL1 - backlight brightness display
OFf - auto time(min) display off
W d - wheel diameter (set to 22)
bU0 - voltage set (42V)
PSd - password (enter 1919)
SPL - speed limit (45km) - gov cuts off before 32km
CUL - MAX Current Limit set (default 15A)
HAL - Magnetic Pole numbers of speed sensor (set to 1. Not sure what impact this would have if adjusted)
ASs - ?
Hd6 - ?
HdP - ?
PAs - levels of assist(set to 0-9 not the default setting)
Before I go off and clicking, does someone happen to understand this computer/programming speak?
Another observation is that my "Power/Wattage" shows that on throttle only (no pedaling):RANGE & BATTERY USAGE:
As a guesstimate (if your wondering
I like to be on my way home or within or around ~5 miles (8km) out when I see the battery indicator go from 3 to 2 bars. The further from home I am, the more frugal I become with the PAS often turning it off (PAS-0) and just using the throttle only when needed with PAS 1 (you can go a long ways this way but it is a work out). Keeping on eye on the power level output can really help gauge how much of the battery vs. human power is being used too. Another indicator the battery is on the low level: Generally it won't bring you up to 32km / 20mi per hour or show full power read out 500-500+ when on PAS 9.
The bottom half often goes quicker than the top (like a car gas tank).
I also think the range can be affected by partial use of the battery then stopping for (an) extended period(s) of time (ie. 8 hours for a work day) then using the remaining amount of battery. Normally my 32km (19mi) round trip bike ride (even in hilly terrain) would not be the bottom of the range but due to the delay midday it is. Though I may have to test this theory out to be sure this is the case. It is just a strong hunch at the moment though.
Best practices wise: I am unsure if it would be better for the battery to recharge/top off while at work or completely use the battery to the end and then recharge (there seems to be some indication that this might be better for battery longevity but does use up more of the battery cycles). That being said, it is really nice to not have to travel with the charger.
Were you able to confirm this? If true, this may be useful. I don't like cruising for extending periods at full 32km/h (inefficient), so it may be useful to specify max throttle to match PAS level. Currently, I just adjust my throttle manually to keep cruising below 25 km/h but is difficult to on bumpy surfaces. I'd still like/need full throttle from time-to-time though.
Adjusting the throttle output sounds like an added bonus that I would be keen to try. No, my display shows Power/Wattage in both throttle and PAS modes. I was just saying that if I was using purely throttle, those were the wattages I observed.
Ah.. that makes sense. Serious perks to riding slower overall me thinks.
Is there any way to contact the LCDs manufactuer for the information, they should know what codes are for! I have a YUKON 750 with no manual for the Intelligent LCD. VOLTBIKE needs to provide the correct up to date manuals for his customers on his WEB site.
