So my first Phylion Li+ battery for my Quando died at 4-5 months. Basically, it worked well, staying green for most of my trips and then started going yellow and then almost immediately to red and cutting off at about 5 miles.
My dealer replaced it no problem and I've been using the new battery for a year. Now the battery is going yellow at about 4 miles. What behavior should I expect from a normal Phylion Li+ battery at this point? Should it stay yellow for several miles before going red and cutting off? Does the motor usually cut off when the battery goes red?
One more question... When I'm starting up from a stop, I've noticed that the yellow comes on as I get up to speed and stays on for a bit after I get up to full speed. The throttle is always fully open once I get moving. I've noticed that if, as I get up to full speed and the yellow is still on, that if I close the throttle momentarily before I open it again, the green light will come on again. Is this a good practice for me? Do I want the green light to come on as much as possible? Or is this practice bad or of no real import other than to make me happy that the green light is back on?
I am no techie but I still LOVE my Quando so much.
BTW, I've been seeing LOTS of electric bikes on the streets of NYC over the last year or so and they invariably are being ridden by Chinese restaurant delivery guys. It's becoming unusual to see one of them riding an non-electric bike.
