Why does my battery drain quickly or not charge during rides?
If your battery is draining faster than usual, check the following:
- Exposure to Heat: The battery may drain faster if the motorbike is exposed to the sun for extended periods, especially in summer. Lithium batteries have temperature limitations:
- Storage: -20 ºC to +45 ºC
- Operating: -25 ºC to +55 ºC
- Charging: 0 ºC to +45 ºC.
- Short Trips: If your trips are shorter than 15-20 minutes or you use the motorbike for less than 3 hours a week, the Mapit may not receive enough charge. For optimal charging, the motorbike should be in use for sustained periods, regardless of the distance traveled.
