Energica / Limp mode at ~25% Battery
« on: July 10, 2023, 04:25:43 AM »
Hey all, been lurking a bit, learning a lot. I bought an Ego RS used with ~500 miles a few months ago. Love it.
I home charge but wanted to test range and local charge options. Ran a ~60 mile loop on local roads, then sprinted up the freeway to test range. I was planning on getting back home and near a public charger with ~10-15% left, but bike went into Limp mode at ~25% while on the freeway. I was 5 miles from an exit, finally pulled off and bike went back into sport mode though it 'felt' like it was not at full power, just didn't have that zip. Bike went in and out of limp as I made my way home.
Charged on my level 2, took over 6 hours, let it balance, and now seems normal. I have put ~500 miles on the bike since I've had it, usually re-charge at ~50% and always let it balance and finish.
is this common? I feel like I should at least be ale to use ~90% of the battery and range without getting into such an issue.
