Maximum battery capacity
« on: October 11, 2015, 02:37:45 AM »

My 2015 DS is from april this year and I have about 5,000 kms on the ODO. I have the power tank so theoretically 15.3 kWh, nomimal 13.5.
The app says that the max. capacity is 14.12 kWh and is still the same as when I bought the bike. So far so good.

What about your battery? Do you notitce any degradation?

I have a 2013 Zero S 11.4 with 34.000 km and 700 charge cycles so far. According to Zero App it has 10,6 kWh available, 116 Volts and 92 Ah when fully charged. This is the same as two years before and I still get 130 - 150 kms out of the battery. If it's very cold like 4 degree Celsius I recognize roundabout 20 % less range, but it will recover when it's warmer again.
I leave the bike plugged in when not in use during winter and for charging over night, in summer I ride it daily to work and leave it there at 85% SOC unplugged until I ride home.
Hottest cell temp ever was 42 degree Celsius.

The Zero app shows 13.34 kWh when fully charged on my 2014 S with PT.  No change since the PT was installed.

Thats a good wrap on the battery, so many posts are negative, good to hear some positive news.

Hi!

I have a Zero SR 15 with PT. So far I have reach 12000 km with it, mostly highway. My commute is 130 km everyday. Twice a week I travel 170 instead of the 130. The average speed is 100 km/h (about 60 mph). Everyday I come home with the bike at 10-20 % battery left, depending on speed and/or weather conditions. So right now, the bike is being put a lot of use. The day I bought it, three months ago, it showed 14.03 kWh. I checked it again last week and I read the same. I could say the bike is doing a good job, at least for now. I'm just praying for the range not lowering down when the winter comes. Otherwise, I'll have to lower the speed.

It's nice to hear that other people are having similar numbers to those I'm having.
