I will second a class 3 Bosch. I have one in a hilly city that absolutely rocks the steeps and has a great battery life. Going on 2 years strong and I've had zero battery issues. It rains a lot here but no problems with the Shimano drivetrain either, just regular maintenance.
I got the Note 9 the same day as my buddy did. I was very careful about slow charging from 50% to 60% (overkill, I know) and he was not careful. His phone crapped out after 2 years but I used mine for 4 years until I decided it was getting slow.
I have a Cube Stereo Hybrid pro (insert numbers here)
Priced about 3.5k retail, it's an absolute dream to ride. Quiet, huge battery (bosch power tube 800)
Why on earth would you pay $600 for battery + terminal. I bought recently a BOSCH AGM for $235 and installed it for free by myself after watching a tutorial on youtube.
Bosch - 2.5 years so far,
Varta - 1.3 years before dying
I do exactly the same tasks and mine don't drain that horribly. For me the battery drains quickly while watching movies and gaming only.
My cargo bike advertises a range of 40-70 miles depending on level of boost. I get up to 40, at the very most, but never more. I use minimum boost only, and usually don’t ride up any major hills. I’ve wonder if this is just grade inflation for marketing or if my Bosch battery was just old/crappy when I got it.
I bought a brand new Bosch battery last year ( not Halfords)and when I checked the voltage it was less than 10 volts so there are dud batteries out there.
After 7 sets of battery drains, I installed a new set and left it on a shelf untouched for a week. Turned on and dead. Made a warranty claim with Bosch to which their lazy troubleshooting reply:
Let me start by apologizing on behalf of BOSCH for any inconvenience this has caused you. I performed a complete inspection: I 1st charged up your lithium battery. I then calibrated & tested unit with both alkaline & lithium batteries: PASSED. I know it’s an inconvience. But: Leaving any batteries in unit when not in use: ( Unit will drain all battery types )—( Unit self discharges batteries when not in use ) --That is why Bosch put in manual tom remove batteries. PG# 21—Attached – ( they actually don’t say how long the “ extended period is “) That way it is not considerd a factory defect. Other than that: unit is operating to all Manufacurers Specification & Tolerances. Best regards,
-Well I'm never buying another Bosch product again with customer service like that. Pissed that I bought this expensive paperweight. What product in today's world drains batteries when not in use? Clearly flawed engineering they are hiding and do not value the end users. A recall is in order.
im on my second tablet a9 the first wouldnt charge after a update now its not charging again this model has problems with thiere batterys
