    Haibike Yamaha - battery replacement options

    Further update. I figured out that if I charge the battery immediately before riding it lasts much longer (but still not as good as new). if I charge it and then don't use it for almost a week then that is when the capacity completely nosedives once it gets to about 75% remaining. Clearly the...

    Haibike Yamaha - battery replacement options

    Regarding the capacity loss. I did a test on a known route this morning, where the allBatteries one would have been at 55%, maybe 50 with a stronger headwind when it was new, it had just 14% left. I'd say it was guffed and the rate of decline has been quite quick over the last few months. When I...

    Haibike Yamaha - battery replacement options

    Its been a while since I've been on this forum. Unfortunately I was taken out by a van last july and the resulting smashed up collarbone which took nearly 9 months to heal. Consequently, the bike sat about not being used for most of that time (my daughter used it a few times). The allBatteries...

    Looks like the right battery to me It says 36 V so should be the right one but that 17v reading suggests it is faulty and is why it doesnt work in the bike.

    It might be worth opening it up and seeing if its the fuse thats blown, although your symptoms seem a little different as mine wouldnt fire up at all.

    Haibike Yamaha - battery replacement options

    Good work! Well I have replied saying that having rebuilt engines in the past I think I could handle opening up a battery. Doubt it will help much. Like you say, just a heads up like "do this, dont do that, remove this, the fuse is there" etc would have been great. I get the impression the...

    Well, their engineer has offered nothing in the way of a how to replace the fuse guide because "It requires opening the battery case". No ****, sherlock!

    Haibike Yamaha - battery replacement options

    I replied telling them that Ive done over 300 miles since on the original battery and there have been no problems. I have also requested they tell me how to replace the fuse in case it blows again. Perhaps there is a slight issue with the motor but I dont believe they are service-able items and...

    I'm so glad to hear that. It didnt sound good from what they told me last year.

    Update from allBatteries: "It appears the customer has blown the internal 20 A fuse, either the customer has short circuited the terminals of the battery or the motor on the bicycle has drawn excessive current, this may mean a potential fault with the motor. We can replace the fuse and return...

    In that case it might be a good idea to contact them because if he has indeed stopped (as they implied) it gives you some time to find an alternative solution.

    Ah. I contacted them a while ago (Insat International) and I think Jimmy wasnt very well and had more or less stopped doing it.

    That service is not advertised on their site from what I can see. Do you know how much they charge and what they can do wrt spc (max capacity).

    Haibike Yamaha - battery replacement options

    shame I never found that 612w battery before buying the 468 w one otherwise I would have snapped that up. Gutted! Interesting that the findings in that thread link above are different to my own personal experience of the 468w battery (which are: a noticeably better range and linear loss of...

    Haibike Yamaha - battery replacement options

    Update: The replacement battery has failed. I was riding home from work yesterday and it literally just died on me, as if I switched the bike off. The battery was running at about 25% at the time and after that the bike would not power up again. I fully charged it later and put it on the bike...
