Today I took the time to connect the battery charger to my V100.
it has been practically two months since I used the bike.
I didn’t want to buy another charger since I have two already.
One old C-TEK charger, and one relatively new Oxford charger.
But my old C-TEK doesn’t have the new modern standard connectors, only clamps.
Further it triggers the charging at a bit low voltage which has been discussed on different Swedish forums.
Therefore it took me a while to get my ass up and sourcing some C-TEK extendion cords to wire up with the Oxford charger.
Anyhow, in only two months the battery has been drained to just 5,2V (!).
It took charge immediately though when finally powered by the charger and the voltage increased quickly.
But I’m really disappointed to see such battery drain in such short time…!
Sure, the manual states to charge the battery if more than three weeks without using the bike, but that’s off course factory safety margin to reject customers complaints.
But still, that battery drain is a problem.
Surely we expect to have our brand new bikes starting even if not used or charged the last two months?
What is your experience and comments on this issue?
