Home Charging

Typically in such high rise apartments, the electricity meter will not be in the floor where the flat is located(14th floor in your case). The distance from your meter to your parking lot is more important than the floor on which your home is located.

I still have this issue the red light blinking when plugged in only appears the first time in a day when I charge. If I unplug and check again, it doesn’t appear / appears for a second and then turns green. It’s actually reducing as days go by. If it doesn’t resolve itself by the weekend I’ll call up customer care.

Hi Abhishek. I’m also buying the Ather, I just wanted to know if the home grid is smaller than public Ather grid.

hemanth.anand · May 22, 2019, 3:04am

It’s not smaller. same size.
Only thing is that home pod doesn’t come with a 5A/15A plug point that a public pod has.

Abhishek · May 22, 2019, 3:05am

no!

for looks it is exactly same

home charging point

public charging point

but main difference is with charging speeds

home charging pod is AC charger with charging time of 2.5 to 3 hours for full charge

public charging pod is DC charger with charging time 1hr to 80%

Thanks for the info.

How much time it takes for 80% charge with home charger?

Abhishek · May 22, 2019, 4:02am

around 2 hrs 15 min (more or less 15 min)

last 15-20% will take longer time - so i don’t bother to charge to full instead will stop at 80-85% even on my long trips i charge only around 90%

Yesterday I kept bike for charging, it showed full charge @3:45 am in the morning, when I saw @ 8 am, charge was still happening, is this fine or I should shut off the charger when fully charged? Will this harm the battery pack since charger was continuously on all night

No issues with leaving it plugged in. The BMS will take care of ensuring battery health.

Thanks for the info

ya I my case also same issue is happening. On the screen it’s showing as 100% but still the green light is blinking on my Ather grid. And in my phone it is showing as charging.

rksingh221989 · June 6, 2019, 10:01am

Now I have started to switch off the power supply once charge is above 90 % as my daily commute is approx 50km.
