@abhishek.balaji Please share the dot installation manual link… I have a meeting setup with my apartment association members tomorrow…
The manual will be of some help…
Thanks

If you don’t press the reset (red) button again, the Dot will remain off. Is my understanding right ?

PS : I am yet to get delivery and only the Dot has been setup

Hey guys,

It’s been couple days since i got the bike. And as most people do, i only charge overnight.
I typically use around 50% battery in one day and come back home and plug it for charging.

It takes around 2 hrs to get it to 100%. But even after it reaches 100% the app still says charging. I checked 2 hrs after plugging. It was 100% and charging. I thought it’ll stop after sometime and just ignored it.

Woke up in the morning and checked again, it’s still 100% and charging.

Can anyone explain what’s going on ? Is the auto cut off not working

This is normal and expected. The point goes into trickle charging mode after a threshold SoC.

That’s correct, it’ll cut off power to the Dot.

Got it, thank you very much

Hi @abhishek.balaji, Is there any feature to stop charging at 90% or some user defined percentage as I understand that for better battery life we should avoid completely draining the battery or fully charging it.

This feature is not available currently.

Hi @Ather.Team, @abhishek.balaji,
Is it possible to get a longer cable at the plug end of the DOT?? My house is on 1st floor. For charging I have to drop the cable down to ground floor parking.
If yes and If it has to be ordered and paid for (for extra length of cable) please let me know so that I can put a request for same.
Roughly, I will need 8 meters of cable from to Dot to charging plug.
Request reply ASAP!

The cable length from the Dot to the scooter is fixed, but you can add cabling from the Dot to a 3 pin plug. Take a look at this one, you can have the Dot with a 3 pin plug and then extend it to reach your home.

A solid amber light on the Dot means that the Dot’s software is being upgraded. The Dot needs to be connected to the scooter for the software upgrade. If it doesnt turn green after some time, you should reach out to customer care to have it checked.

Hey guys,
Got my dot installation done today it exactly took 30mins for the whole process and in my case as the 15A plug was quite near so dint have the need to connect it to the meter.


I was happy as there were no ugly black pipes running between the meter and the charger.
The guys were experienced and exactly knew what they were doing.
But I have one complaint with ather on dot installation in my case there was no extra wiring and other stuff and felt compact hence I felt 1800rs is very much for installation. And during payment also they told me the subscription plan I was given complimentary for 1 year was ather service and not ather one. I think for previous customers u had been giving ather one and not ather service.
