Title: Battery/Charging Question
Post by: ATM on January 13, 2017, 05:14:23 AM
I've had my XU for a little over a month and have put about 100 miles on it.  I noticed that no matter how long it stays plugged in the app never reports 100% charged.  It only goes up to 95%.   See attached photo.  When I turn the bike on the gas gauge looks to be full.  Is this an issue or is it normal?  Thanks

Not normal for an "S"

What's the battery voltage?  In that screenshot it looks like it's still charging at about 500 watts at 95%, this seems right.

I notice on my FX that it seems to hit 95%, then stop.
If power is disconnected, or, hey is turned on then off,
it begins charging again, going to around 97%. If done
again, it goes to 100%. Not worth it in MY case as
I only get about a mile or so from the extra 5%.
If both the on board and auxiliary charger are used,
it goes right to 100%

The battery voltage is 115V and the cell balance is 2mV.   I unplugged it and plugged it back in and the charging amps went up to 5 and the charging watts went to 578.  Seems like it's trying to charge again.  Says 30 minutes till full charge.  The green light is blinking, was solid before.
