How many watt-hrs is that?
How much does it weigh?
How much did it cost?
What is it called?
Please let us know if it lives up to its promise?

I was referring to the additional battery that is not a TEC pack.

 

[Zimmerframe]

Glad that turned up in the end. I know you'd lost all hope of ever seeing it a month ago !

Lets hope it does the job, everyone else who seems to have got one likes them.

 

[paul-g]

thought you`d given up on it and bought a new kitchen

It surprised me as well. Only took 3 months to come from Italy ?

 

[aarfeldt]

250kw

It's 250Wh

According to manufacture, it weights 1.2 kg.

 

[steve_sordy]

Thanks for the reply, it was very helpful. I was assuming that it would be much cheaper than a TEC pack. But the cost per whr is much higher. But I guess if you can't actually find a TEC pack to buy, folk must look elsewhere.

I just put mine in the bottle cage, when I have to go longer than I think the internal will last.
It's good quality and looks nice (compared to the TEC pack which looks awful)

I can't disagree with that!

Not used it yet How's it work. Can you plug it in straight away and use before you use the internal Battery or do you wait while internal has ran down. Then plug this in?

 

[paul-g]

sean where are the destructions?
don`t tell me you don`t read them

There ain't any Paul. Don't want to contact company because Don't get a reply. Had bad dealings with them.

How do you use yours pal. On first or when internal has ran out?

 

[paul-g]

I aint got one sean

 

[paul-g]

with the giant I don`t think there`s room

 

[paul-g]

I might be wrong sean but I would think (as a layman)
that both link together to give you what ever wattage
both add up to, and then drain from both.
or I might be talking a load of shit
views on a post card please

I've turned bike on and then plugged it in and turned the piggy back on and the mileage says same. 37.miles in eco ?

 

[paul-g]

don`t know mate.
you might be better running a different thread heading
see if anybody`s got one fitted and what they did
like I said I might be talking shit

 

[paul-g]

sean just had a thought
if you remove the main battery does the piggy
show anything on the main clock

Hi Paul. Can't remove it it's got to be took to dealers.

 

[aarfeldt]

I use the external first....it adds around 15-20 kms in my situation.

I've heard it's not good to run the battery fully down. Is that true. Do you leave a bar on then switch over?

Can you see the bars go down on your bike screen when battery is hooked up or do they stay full?

 

[aarfeldt]

They stay full, untill external is empty.
So the logic on the Shimano display is a bit "out-of-order".

 

[Peaky Rider]

Okay, lots of questions here but I've had mine about a year now and, apart from lengthy delivery times, I think it is great.

Firstly, the TEC battery is way heavier and damned ugly ( Shimano manage to get 504 WH in a lighter and much sleaker package) and how many rides do you really need almost 800 WHs for. The smaller E-booz just gives you a 'safe' feeling on the average ride and weighs little more than a full water bottle.

No instructions are supplied so I emailed the manufacturer for info. They are designed to be used straight from the start of the ride and they have their own consumption gauge. The gauge on mine fluctuates wildly when in use but when no power is being drawn it shows the % left. The main gauge on the bike stays static until the E-booz is empty or disconnected. I aim to disconnect mine when down to 10% rather than run it dry. I then swap it round with my water bottle in my back pack.

Lastly, remember to turn the E-booz 'on' when charging.

Hmmm...I don't turn it on when charging.
What's the benefit of having it turned on ?
