Probably not...I was told (it may not be true), however funny or stupid it sounds, the battery and motor communicate too much. As a result, it is not as easy to produce a third party battery. I am not an expert, perhaps somebody else could shed some light on this?
Well then, I did understand well. Knowing that Shimano is familiar with that and puts the crap in and gets the crap out (known issue) is a form of lie as they simply cannot meet their advertised cycles and provide appropriate capacity of the battery in the long run.
After having this thread alive for sometime and trying to figure out where the problem with this battery and drive unit could be, would anyone dare making it clear why this is so?
When you have a new battery the ECO range shows 100 km and the health status 100%. When my ECO range was 76 km, the battery health was 76% plus or minus one percent. We all know that you cannot make 100 km in ECO unless you mostly ride downhill and have it turned off for about 40 kms. My...
I have not figured out a way how I could objectively compare a range of a new battery vs. a battery with a 10% drop. You would have to take the same route in the same weather conditions I guess. The battery was new before the summer and now it is 0 or below zero degrees here. All I can say that...
Hey Gary, long time no see. I’ve been missing your sarcastic remarks :-) No drama here. Will continue riding, only the rides are getting shorter as you would know if you had that combo. IMHO it is pretty unfair/appalling to lose 10% of the battery capacity in just 10 cycles.
I have promised an update on the new battery that I warrantied when the capacity was around 76%. Shimano asked me to be below 80% first. It took around two months to get the new one. The new battery has now 10 cycles and follows completely the same pattern as was described by many. The capacity...
It is hard to respond to what you write. I have read how to treat my laptop, phone, earphone batteries and I try hard to do so. All these batteries, that I use, do what I want and 'behave' consistent with how I treat them. Batteries of friends of mine, as well as, my close or distant family are...
I think I tend to be a nuisance in this thread, I do realize that. It is very important to differentiate. Some guys here think, that this "issue" is just a software/firmware bug and what I complain about is just an illusion. And I have to be persistent and say: no, it is not so, you loose your...
I guess these fautly batteries can be easily replaced by companies who provide different or the same cells but the bms and and software remains the same, it will degrade the same way unless somebody changes the pattern. We need to find out who to give a ring :-)))))))))))))))))))))))))))
