So we are coming up to another winter when the batteries on our bikes are working their hardest. My bike is now over a year old and i have noticed no decrease in battery capacity what so ever. I know all batteries deteriorate but i honestly do not notice any difference. Will this drop in capacity just show up suddenly or is it a long drawn out process? I think the battery on my bike (Bionx) comes with a 3 year battery warranty so not to worried about failure. Am i being unrealistic in expecting 4-5 years out of the battery. To be honest if it was less than 3 years then the financial side does not stack up.
