I have a recently purchased Pro-connect 10 from 50 Cycles. I'm pretty sure when I bought it and tried one of the test bikes the battery was in some sort of sleep mode and the guy had to press the red button on the battery to wake it up (I.e. it would not start with just the button on the handlebar).
I am also pretty sure this happened once since I had the bike - I.e. it needed a push off the red button to switch it on.
So - I was under the impression if you didn't use the bike for a couple of days it would go into some sort of sleep/conservation mode that meant the battery would retain its charge. However that does not seem to be the case. After using the bike fairly regularly for the first two weeks I left it for a week and the battery did not shut down and lost about 15% of its charge.
Can anyone caste any light on this - is there any type of shut down/sleep mode for the battery that helps conserve the charge?
