Recently, I bought a new 14Ah Ezee LiPo battery.
On receipt I put the battery on to fully charge before using it, then ran it until the power cut out as part of the conditioning routine. When I put in on to recharge, the amber light on the charger went off after only a couple of hours and did not turn green
This is something I have not seen happen before. I then switched off the charger and waited a few seconds then switched the charger on again, the amber light came on and the battery continued to charge until eventually, the charging light turned green as normal and, I assume, the battery was fully charged.
I have since run it flat a second time and put in on to charge, the same thing has happened again, amber light goes out and green does not come on unless I switch off and restart charging.
Is this a fault with the battery or is this the way to charge these 14Ah batteries? If this is normal, it is an inconvenience, particularly if charging overnight to have to charge a second time.
I am waiting to hear from OnBike, but in the meantime can anyone shed any light on this phenomena please?
By the way, my charger is in good working order and this does not occur with other 10Ah batteries I have.
