. I am a potential buyer and took a test drive 2 days back. Loved the product. I have specific questions related to charger and battery :-
I was told that this portable charger can be used with a 5A point, but was also warned for heating issues. So may i know, how much “current” is drawn by the charger to be specific which will make me check feasibility of 5A out point.
What is the charge cycle of the Battery . I was told 2000. May i know the number exact.
Whats the progression of degradation of battery? How much will i loose the efficiency of battery every year. I have seen posts stating 450 becoming Slow after year of use.
May i Please know which kind of Battery is Fitted inside the Battery Pack. Is it Lithium-ion or Lithium-iron-Phosphate? I Am asking just to know how much will it last.
Not really,
Abhisek @abhishek.balaji has stated earlier in the forum that 6 years is the battery life and if u vigorously follow the 20-80 cycle u can get 6 months to 1 year of extra battery life
Thank You so much for joining this discussion Gentleman.
I was curious because
Lithium-iron-phosphate seems to be having better life as compared to Lithium-ion.
So I was wondering if Ather’s Battery is a long lasting one or short.
Also, i happened to read a post here where the Owner brought out that his 450 after two yrs of use became slower and motor started making more noise.
Any Comments on That please ?
Sir, do you happen to use the 5A socket of normal power supply for charging ?
Because i live in a building and i see many 5A socket to charge in parking area. But if i burn any of them it will be issue !
Contact Ather or abhishek.balaji directly. I remember seeing some graphs and numbers during the recent owners meet and the meet on battery and charging as well.
In 450 alone they use 18650 li-ion cells, which can be charged to 4.2v which is connected in 14s configuration totalling to 58.8v max
For 450 plus and 450X they use 21700 cells from LG in the same configuration with less in parallel
