I'm a little confused regarding the remaining power available to me on my 806 Alpino.
The LCD power display does not appear to work as I would expect. The remaining power changes up or down by up to two bars depending on how much effort I put into pedalling. Surely, this should be a constant indicator of the power remaining in the battery and diminish over time, not go up & down when cycling or freewheeling downhill - there's the power consumption display to tell me that.
After I finish my 6.5 mile commute, the power indicator is on 1 bar which, according to the manual (which shows a different model), leaves 55%. However, when I remove the battery and check the remaining capacity, it indicates 80% charge remaining. Which do I believe as I wouldn't want to find myself running out as the last 1.5 miles is a steep hill.
I would just like to know how to get a reliable reading without having to keep stopping to check the battery.
Cheers in advance
