Battery or charger?
Sort of RV related since this is an electric bike purchased for carrying while RVing.
I thought it would be fun to solicit some opinions and then I will tell what the manufacturer is providing under warranty.
It has a 48v Lithium system.
The battery seems to not be charging correctly although the charger indicates that the battery is fully charged. Here are some test numbers I provided the manufacturer;
The charger has a no load output of 54.6v.
The last couple of uses the battery achieves less of a charge although each time the charger indicates that it is fully charged and shuts off.
First time that I checked the charger brought the battery up to 46.8v.
After riding and then charging again, the charger brought the battery up to 45.8v.
The price of a new charger is $40, the price of a new battery is $500.
If you were the manufacturer, would you send a new battery, or a new charger under warranty?
