With the apparent end in sight for my eZee Liv battery I have bitten the bullet and decided to buy a new 14A battery.
The first surprise was that the battery arrived fully charged - I tried the charger two or three times and each time I got 'the green light'.
The second surprise was that the orange warning light came on after only 4 or 5 miles whilst ascending a moderate hill. After that it came on whenever I put any load on the motor even on the level. With previous batteries the orange light would only start to come on towards the limit of the batteries range.
I spoke to OnBike, who supplied the battery, and they assure me that with the current generation of eZee batteries it is normal for the orange light to show when demand by the motor rises. I shall continue to run through the full battery cycle, note the mileage and recharge. Meanwhile I wonder if any members out there have experienced a similar situation ?
