IS my SS9 battery failing? Only 3700km. Energica is not responding and my dealer says they are not standing behind the warranty and my SS9 was the last Energica they sold in 2019. I've tried reaching Energica calling, emailing, even messaging the CEO Livia. I was thinking of bringing to Israel, but if I can't get fixed it in London I doubt it'll be possible in Israel. How can I evaluate the battery for myself? Range was never even close to what they stated and after 2 laps at the track the battery is overheating. Appreciate any help. I feel like I threw close to €25,000 away and now I'm going to need to a solicitor to solve this.

If you have a wall socket to J1772 plug to charge the bike you and use a Kill-A-Watt plug meter to see how much power goes into you battery after it's empty.

You plug the meter into the wall and your charge cable into it.  It has a kWh metering option.

Your dealer won't support you and the bike is less than a year old?

So what kind of range are you getting? How many miles/KM is your typical max range? Your track time, was the battery icon yellow or red? Notice any loss of power? As far as not getting the suggested range I never did either. But the range tests that were first published was based on a SAE standard that was done on what could be described as a treadmill so you wouldn't get that range on the road. It was a number to compare with other bikes that used the same test.

Riding it empty and then charging with a meter in between is really the way to go here. I know this is on a zero but I did it in this video

Also by how much is it off? Might be worth testing it on max 70 and 90 kmh roads to check range of you have time. On a warm day you should get close to Energica numbers.

Their range tests are reported to be executed in the road matching real life situations. But still it will be executed in summer in Italy with the smallest test rider they could find in a very calm day probably on a closed test track as flat as possible. So still best case scenario and rather optimistic.
