I have a Segway x360 and this is absolutely not the way to charge them. First its recommended that you take the battery out the Surron/Segway because it anything goes wrong like overheating or leaking it want damage the bike. Much cheaper to replace the battery rather than the entire bike. Second if you do leave it in the bike you have to turn off the main switch and unplug the power cords from the battery. If you charge like this and something goes wrong it will void you warranty. Just an FYI.
@@hadesomegamoto7639 I would imagine its only voided if it was damaged while charging it that way. I would turn off the main switch though. I'm sure its just a precaution. I charge mine while its in the bike when I don't feel like taking it out as well I just make sure im close by.
@@jltt2203 I very rarely take it out and have a lot of cycles on my battery been around longer than the Segway. In the Sur Ron User's Manual it states that you can charge it in the bike or externally. It makes no mention about having to flip the breaker off. So maybe the Segway is different but the Sur Ron it is perfectly fine to charge the battery in the bike and the breaker is turned on. The ignition switch is what activates the controller. Even with my 72V setup I charge the battery in the bike with the breaker on. It is safe.
Store any lithium battery at 40 to 60% state of charge, extended or long term storage. Battery will last a lot longer if you charge it up to a max of 80% and let it run down while riding to a minimum of 20% state of remaining charge .
In the manual instructions for Surron it's written to charge the battery till the light on a charger became green to ballance the cells, and some forums to charge the battery till 80% for longer life time of battery. What is correct? Thank you for your answers 😁🙏
The battery will last more cycles if you charge it to 80%. My suggestion is if you are going to be riding the bike right away charge to 100%. If you are not going to ride it right away charge it to 80% and then charge to 100% before riding.
Unless I missed it, how heavy is that charger? As in....if I were out out and about and need to charge...how heavy would that be to toss in my backpack and haul with?
@@hadesomegamoto7639 that makes it much easier, thank Hades! One more question. Around what battery percentage does the bike not allow you to go into sport mode, or where the power cuts off to protect itself. 25%??
@@ellestar2306 I can't remember I don't have the stock battery anymore but around 10% it will get close to dying and become very slow. At 50% you will notice a big drop in power.
@@hadesomegamoto7639 good intell. I'm still on the factory charge, that was around 71%. I rode it down to about 38%. And did notice a little dip. So good to know at around 10% it could potentially be shut off. Could you you recommend another grip throttle? I heard the Domino throttle is everyone's go too. But I'm new to throttle bikes, I came from a thumb throttle. Thanks in advance. You just got another sub too
@@ellestar2306 The Light Bee has had 2 kinds of throttles the ones with the throttle box and cable throttle and the newer Light Bees come with an electronic throttle. I actually like the electronic one it's very smooth and easy to twist at least for my bike. The cable throttle you can adjust the cable tension. I have never tried the Domino throttle so I can't comment on it. You can also change the grips on the Sur Ron throttle if you don't like em.
@@hadesomegamoto7639 really? you don't think that it was a mistake not to include the time it takes to charge? I have read that is on of the top three most asked questions about this bike and I certainly believe it's the most important aspect of the charging proces...
@@randyvanvliet226 - haha - very few people know who the name of the manufacturer are... besides, this is a rhetorical question which points out it's a poor review. If you like it then please go ahead and make a comment about why it's great....
