Levo battery charging times

[Binhill1]

Notice battery charges quicker up to say 80 percent then slows down .Curious if anyone has timed how quick to certain level for example does rate slow charging at certain level. Just in case decide to do long run and top up at a shop etc .

I can only confirm that from 0 to around 80% charging speed is approximatelly 22%/hour with 700Wh battery. Charging power is from 160W on lower and and up to 180W on the upper end of that range.

Mine is quicker than that I would guess around 2 hours to 70 then slows down. Last 30 takes another couple of hours I think.

I guess you have 500Wh battery then ...

No

[/QUOTE no 700

No

It's a 700

If you are charging 700Wh battery from 0-70% in just 2 hours with original 4A charger, then I don't see other explonation than your battery capacity is significantly lower than 700Wh (due to ageing/degradation) or less likely that your charger is not working properly ... Have you checked your battery condition with Blevo?

Don't have Blevo. Still getting same milage so battery ok I presume have done 2800 miles maybe 70 charges I think . It has always been slow charging last amount . From what I read it slows down to protect battery. I know nothing about batteries just someone on here will have worked it all out . No big deal just curious

Yes the last part slow charging is completely normal to protect the battery. A full charge (0-100%) should take about 5 hours and 20 minutes with 4A charger.
