The feature of limiting is under progress we can see that under works in Ather labs.

Also can you let us know how you are charging while in office using your charger or at a grid.!!?

Bro today only I have got my delivery in evening and from tomorrow onwards i will be charging my vehicle only from slow charger and will use grid in only emergency purpose as the grid is only meant for that purpose not for daily charging as it degrades battery at higher rate so slow is best and that will be also 20-80 only and 100 percent 1-2 times in month when in need thatā€™s my overall plan anything else you could suggest would be appreciated :+1:t2:

You cannot. Itā€™s only something service team can do. And AFAIK, they wonā€™t do it without any reason or just if you want to know your battery health

You can approximate it by using your ride stats and battery percentage drop.

Does more use of fast charging degrades the battery :battery: or daily use of fast charge

you can fast charge once in a few days. daily use of fast charge would degrade it faster

Ya bro can you explain in detail how it will degrade the battery I think as chemical reactions are faster when fast charging but if you can provide full detail it will be helpful and i prefer 20-80 method everytime and do slow charge from portable charger and use fast charger in urgency only or in extreme needā€¦

We should do a complete drain of battery like remaining 1-2 percent once in a month so it will be good for battery I heard from some owners is it true please give clarification on it

No. Who ever said that is incorrect.

You should never go all the way down to 2% (Unless itā€™s an urgency).

Try and charge at or above 20% SOC whenever possible.

Ather has engineered the 450/X very intelligently.

In the Ather 450X G2 :

The Battery size is 2.9 & usable is 2.6

Thatā€™s a buffer of over 10%

In the Ather 450 Plus G2:

The Battery size is 2.9 & usable is 2.23

Thatā€™s a buffer of over 23%

In Gen 3, itā€™s even Better;

The 450X G3 :

The Battery size is 3.7 & usable is 3.24

Thatā€™s a buffer of over 12%

The 450 Plus G3 :

The Battery size is 3.7 & usable is 2.6

Thatā€™s a buffer of over 29% :exploding_head:

PS. All the battery size mentioned above are given out officially in the Specification sheet and are in kWh.

So technically speaking, Ather has already taken care of extreme low charge & 100% charge, as thatā€™s where the batteries are under extreme stress.

The 20-80-20 rule is just an additional safety margin over the buffer that we do.

So chill, and enjoy the wheeeeeā€¦

I always had a doubt about this. Does our smartphone batteries also have any buffer like Ather?
