Long Term Test Outcome - eZee battery

[markgwalters]

Hi "Flecc"

Many thanks for your advice, it is very much appreciated.

Since I posted I have been looking at forum topics and discovered the battery is likely to cost £350!

Looking at other threads it would appear that you own and ride a Pro-connect which is probably what I would consider as a replacement if indeed I decide to replace! I intend to get back into commuting everyday rain, hail or shine and don't mind investing if the Kalkoff is a better bike.(I am concerned about the waterproofing which is virtually non-existent on the Torq)

The 2 year guarantee on the battery is very appealling and I guess the build quality is probably superior to the Ezee.

My confidence has been severely dented with the Torq. I know this is probably deviating from the topic of this thread, but, briefly do you consider the Pro-Connect a better and potentially more reliable bike?

Best regards

Mark

PS not sure what to do if the thread "wanders" so apologies.

No, I don't own a Pro Connect Mark, or any Kalkhoff, but I like both the Pro Connect and the Agattu and I would definitely own one if I had the space to put it.

My current bikes are both drastic conversions of eZee bikes:

The Q bike

The T bike

As this thread concerns an eZee battery test for the manufacturer, it's not really an appropriate place for me to answer your main question, so for diplomacy's sake I'll send you a PM.

Very Smart, and should the battery not be used for 6 months it does not negative discharge, it will simply go to sleep until woken up by the charger.

Is this any different from the usual battery capacity indication? i.e. 1-5 leds on the battery case.
Good to know about the "sleep" mode - thanks for the info.
