It is not a bad thing. But completely unnecessary. Battery drain is common thing and it will hardly drop 1-2% in the night. So, you are not conserving any battery life per say.
Plus you have to wait or adjust your time each morning for it to boot up. And it might not be applicable for you, but in my case “Movement detection” adds extra safety net.
But I’m getting great results while traveling I didn’t have the option to shut down because it was parked on the road so I had to keep it on or use Incognito mode just to check the battery. I kept Incognito mode on that time and there was only a 1% drain for the full night if I use shutdown the battery percentage drops the same so I’m using Incognito mode now.
I’m having issues with the meter and there is also a shortage of meters if I keep the vehicle on everyday charging the meter can get damaged. So I do not keep it on regular charging only when needed I charge the vehicle.
Scenario 1: I shut down the vehicle so I can’t see updates about battery location etc on the phone app as in shutdown mode but if someone moves my Ather then tamper protection is enabled and the vehicle turns on automatically. It starts beeping and sends a notification on my app.
I have tested the scenario myself and it works as mentioned above.
My question is if the same happens in incognito mode? as in that mode purposefully location and all options are turned off.
Also, have you done internal testing on your vehicle about the percentage battery drop over night say 7 hours in incognito mode vs shutdown mode?
If yes please share the results numbers. It would be really helpful.
I’m having trouble shutting down my Ather; it doesn’t enter shutdown mode as it should. Do you have any suggestions? Has anyone else encountered this issue?
A ZERO. Really Ather? I don’t know if it was due to latest update or the cells have degraded in less than 1.5 years.
Really bad. 14 percent battery gone in 17 days in shutdown mode. What’s the use of shutdown mode then.
There was a time when Ather battery didn’t even degraded 1 percent per day even when we didn’t use the shut down feature.
For whole 2.5 weeks i didn’t even got to know about my Ather whereabouts and this is what i got in return. Never using this feature from now onwards. Will charge my Ather 60% whenever i have to face such situation again.
Guys kindly charge your Ather before you plan to go out for a week or more.
