How efficient in Ather 450 and itâs battery when there is water logging due to heavy rain? Will it be able to bypass it as good as petrol vehicles?

Can do everything an ICE bike can, without worrying about exhaust fumes or a hydro-lock because of water entry into the engine

My area gets flooded quite often and Iâve ridden it multiple times on flooded roads. I can confidently say that itâll be totally fine. If you travelled through muddy water, just make sure you wash the belt when you can, for maximum performance.

Battery kwh??
Battery volts??
Battery ah??
Battery is 2.4 kWh
This is critical to cut down the downtime because of charging especially considering a Low range of under 100km to a charge! If the charging time could be cut from a couple of hours to a few mins, then this product would find even wider traction.
There are technical limitations to charging in under a few minutes!
Where does Ather source their battery cells from, for Ather 450? Panasonic or LG or other company?

I heard from many including @tarun during Open Forum that keeping the charge between 30% to 80% keeps the battery healthy.
While we can ensure most of the time that battery level does not go below 30%, how do we ensure that battery level stops @ @80%, without needing to go and switch off? (which is not practical)
- Like few requested during Open forum, there should be an option in app to stop charging at certain battery % instead of 100%
- Or, use smart plug and set the timer (to switch off) based on the rough estimate shown in the app.
- Any other simpler way?
On another note, if Ather has capped the battery capacity to 2.4 Kwh instead of 2.7 Kwh, which means we are charging only 90% of the battery capacity.
So, all these 80% thing should be for 90%, right? Even fast charging should be available until 90% instead of current 80%, isnt it?
nice logic
but also understand
any EV company or a org. which develops battery on their own does this just to prolong battery life
these days even smartphone companies are doing the same
they limit the capacity and further allow the user to fast charge till 80% and rest slow charging
i read an article on a cargo ship which was converted to electric which have considerable size of battery pac (a big room is allocated to inverter itself and batteries are stored in big conditioned containers)
it has only fleet distance of 15-30km but it makes 3 stops during the trip
they had installed chargers (customized) at every hop harbor
ideally with such a big battery they can complete a round trip with one charge
but they choose to keep charge between 40 and 66% at all times - even when it is docked!
the idea is
they are planning not to replace battery for entire life of the cargo ship which will be considerably many years
in this situation for the application they choose (ship) and composition of battery they choose - arrived at a ideal battery % for a prolonged life
in short
these are measures to improve battery life as much as possible
but this can vary - after-all it is not standardized yet and we just started
for now forget all those worries and enjoy the bike potential - but keep posting ideas

Iâll let u know when i find it

Not sure if this is a right forum for my query,
How to activate shutdown mode? (I could not find this information in Ather site)
Thank you in advance for your explanation.
Tap âmenuâ button on the top left of the main screen. There youâll find âShutdownâ on the bottom left of the screen
Thank you very much
was reading this statement with regards to battery
âMany users are unaware that the fuel gauge only shows SoC; capacity, the leading health indicator, remains unknown.â
so, is there any SoP (even if it is internal to Ather) which you have figured out to determine actual health
am interested to know if it is possible to determine when battery is showinf SoC as 100%
what is it exactly referring to
in other words 100% of what?
2.4kW or lets say after 5 years of use capacity might go down to 2kW (considering godd usage though) is there a procedure to understand what is the 100% referring to - is actual capacity of 2kW - can we determine that!
@Ather.Team please help me understand this
am sure u must have some device to measure energy consumed by battery while charging and energy spent while discharging - this way it should be easy for u sto determine (please correct me if am wrong)

I hope you are asking about measuring batteryâs degraded capacity⌠Some laptops used to have tool which says actual battery health in terms of percent like 80%âŚ
By measuring discharge cycle Ather should be able to tell this in app or dashboardâŚ
