    My Battery is Failing

    I got my Quando on 4/01/08. The battery was manufactured in August 07. In late September, just before the 6 month warranty on the battery was to expire, I took my bike into NYCewheels, where I bought it, to have an electrical short corrected and to have the battery evaluated. The battery was...

    Lithium-ion Battery Life

    Sooo... would it make sense for me to charge in the early morning if I am going to use the battery mid or late morning to go to work? Charging at work isn't an option for me. If I can get significant more battery life, I would put the charger on a timer to start at 4 or 5am instead of...

    my Quando battery

    Ok.... I must confess. I am a COMPLETE idiot. I found out what was "wrong" with my battery. My tires were underinflated! That's right. I could tell they were kind of soft. But i had no idea how underinflated they were. When I used a pressure gauge, I got a reading of 15-20 psi. They are...

    my Quando battery

    Thanks, Flecc. I called my dealer, nycewheels.com , to see what measure they use to determine if a battery is serviceable under the 6 month warrantee. The young man who answered the phone told me I could drop off the battery for 3 days before the 6 months is up and they will test it. He...

    my Quando battery

    So I purchased my bike on April 1, 2008 which means I've had it 4 months. I generally use it 6-7 days a week, maybe 6-8 miles each way with occasional days off or longer rides. Mosy of my riding in Manhattan is pretty flat, with the exception for one hill, runs about 1 long city block. I...

    My Quando's Li-ion battery and the heat

    We've been having a heat wave here in NYC. I was wondering how the hot weather will affect my battery. Today, when I left work to ride home about 6pm, the temp was about 96F. It seemed like the battery was a little funky for the first time (I've been using the bike/battery and charging it...

    Battery charger options

    Holy cow. I'll do EVERYTHING I can to preserve my battery. I don't now how I'd face life without my Quando. The other day I caught myself standing in front of my bike where I had parked it at the hospital where I work. I was actually singing a love song to my bike. Glad none of my...
