Levo Gen 2 Turbo Levo - Battery Failures

[Grannyjones]

I had a battery fail on my Turbo Levo Comp. After 200 charge cycles. The age of the bike is 3 years and 5 months.

Battery drained VERY fast on its final ride. I knew there was something seriously wrong when it was at 50% charge at 5 miles.

After that it was completely dead - It would not charge at all.

This is when the Mission Control App was stating that the battery was at 100% Health only weeks earlier.

I would be interested in hearing about any other battery failures from other members on here ? Interested in the age of the bike, how many charge cycles and how much the replacement battery cost

@Grannyjones, it sounds like a battery replacement may be needed. 200 charge cycles is rather low and below the 300 manufacturer guaranteed cycles if I recall.

Have you had the battery diagnosed at a local dealer?

The only failure I've had was a gen1 battery doa (thanks Rutland ) warrantied by Berkshire cycles.
My gen2's have been fine for 3+ years touch wood and counting.
500 g2 can be had used from £300 or so which is reasonable.
I would be miffed if my 700 failed though as they are pricey.

We had a battery failure recently on a Vado (same battery as Levo ?): it started shutting off motor power while showing 50%, then after a couple times of that it stopped providing power to the motor at all. A new battery fixed it.
The battery is 4 years old with about 6500 miles on it so we can't complain too much.

I've just had a battery replaced under warranty on my Gen 3. The temperature sensor decided it was too cold to charge a few weeks ago when the temp was 20 degrees. Not too sure on charge cycles but the bike has covered roughly 1100 miles.

Warranty was sorted within 2 weeks of me actually getting the bike to the shop.

£900 new battery. 700 watt hours and just over 3 years old when it failed
