Touchscreen is still active & EM lock is drawing power to keep it engaged. It’s basically in an Key Off mode where all functions except the motor & lights are working.

Just like public charging, an option to release the cable and go into idle mode after 100% SoC may help.
Based on one’s need, we can enable or disable it.
Also, I believe Ather working on Charging Threshold option… What happens after reaching the max threshold. Will it behave like now or go into idle mode?
Is there any serial number on the battery pack, just in case to verify if it is the same.
What is the lower limit for batteries we should use before charging? is it good to drain battery below 20% just to get more mileage ? will it not affect battery life/performance? I remember reading some article that suggest we should recharge it ideally when it drains up to 30-40 % . It gives good battery life… Also frequent charging on fast charger lowers battery life ? do anybody have data on it?

There was 4 percentage drop overnight with a range drop of 3kms after charging my 450x the next day. I’ve been experiencing this from quite some time now. Anyone else facing the same issue?
I’ve been facing some.

Yes, but it is because the sim in the vehicles is active.

Your serial number is your chassis number or you may know the VIN number, the battery is integrated into the chassis that is your verification number.
Battery life cycle … Did anyone know about battery life cycle how many Cycles in ather battery

2000 I guess. Not sure
In Standby mode batteries dichage. For example i had charged till 100% at 8pm in the evening but by morning 7am when i saw it was 97%
Can we add additional battery in the boot space?
Should we let the charger plugged in even after it is charged till 100%?

… in the sense you have nothing to do with a battery in the boot. You need a UPS and carry the portable charger to charge the scooter. It does not add much to the range, given the e/m ratios and efficiencies. Maybe it can be designed onto a new scooter, where the footboard battery is supplemented by a boot battery.
There is a lot of discussion on idle battery drain, but this sums most of it…
Regarding overnight charging…

Well… can a UPS hold that much electricity in it to charge the Ather? If yes then what type of UPS has that much capacity to charge the Ather?
Any UPS which can provide 2 kva for at least 6 hr will do. Usually, Sukam or any brand you like which runs on a 48v system should do the trick, this will ensure you have a lot of charge before draining empty.

I didn’t understand use of UPS here, does it mean that you want to use UPS to charge Ather in absence of mains electricity ?

Yes, With Summer approaching and I live in an area where there are more frequent power cuts, It’s better to have a backup with something that won’t let the scooter sit like a dead thing.

Then infact all Ather grids must be installed with a backup either battery or generator

I charged the 450x using my portable charger last night till 100% SOC. When I started the scooty in morning, I see the SOC has dropped to 97%. Is there any valid reason why this could happen ? Is it a problem which can be solved?
