I did a firmware update yesterday to version 19. After the firmware update, I charged the bike to prepare for a ride. I noticed it was charging at a much lower than usual rate. I have a Premium model SR/S with the dual chargers. OK I thought, new battery management firmware was part of the upgrade so maybe it is conditioning the battery or something. I check on the bike later and it had stopped charging hours sooner than it had originally indicated it would take. The state of charge is 100% but the range is only 15 miles!

At this point, I should add that I had recently had a Power Tank installed by my dealer. There had been no issues with the bike following that installation other than I was underwhelmed by the negligible improvement in range, if indeed there was an improvement. I was somewhat concerned that the bike was not utilizing the added battery capacity but at least it was charging normally and I was getting around 90 miles highway range.

Any thoughts?

Good news! I uncovered the bike this morning and prepared to try and correct the problem mentioned above. I turned the bike on and was pleasantly surprised to see 100% state of charge and 100 miles highway range, not the 15 mile range I was seeing yesterday. I don't know how the problem corrected itself, only that it did.

Range is based upon some historical data, so it can give weird answers at times.

Perhaps it had bad data from the update still in the variable.

I did a firmware update yesterday to version 19. After the firmware update, I charged the bike to prepare for a ride. I noticed it was charging at a much lower than usual rate.

By any change did you START that charge near or above 80% SOC to compare?  If so, that is why the rate was limited to below 2KW charging.
