Crazy event happened this weekend. On Friday, I took the EX for a ride. Came back, put EX in garage at about 50% battery, locked the bike in phone app, press the red start/stop button to turn it off, then left for my trip.
That night, I remotely happened to check my security camera and I find my EX ON, headlights and taillights blasting in my garage! I'm like WTF I am like 99% sure I powered it off properly...
I'm like 4 hours away camping.. I'm like surely it will turn itself off from inactivity at some point. Come the next morning, NOPE, bike STILL ON. I'm like well it was charged 50% so how much energy can headlights and taillights draw, maybe it will still be ON until I get home on Sunday or some low voltage condition trips it..
Bike lights turned off (dead main battery apparently) at around 3PM Saturday, so it lasted about one full day with bike in the "ON" state at 50% battery. So I though I should be good, maybe some low voltage condition tripped. So now I'm worried, I cut my trip short and got home early and plugged the charger in at around 10AM Sunday, so the bike was "dead" for around 19 hours.
Plugging in the charger, the bike did nothing, unlike when it normally starts charging. But (luckily) the bike DID turn on with the button and start charging from 0%. I understand there is an ancillary battery to turn the bike electronics on that wasn't dead yet?
I guess a few questions:
1. How long does that ancillary battery normally last if the main battery is dead?
2. 19 hours at a 0% charge state in a 70 degree garage, is my battery damaged or degraded?
3. What kind of idiot company designs a bike that stays on with no timer or low voltage features for a bike sitting doing nothing for 24 hours?
4. Why was the bike in an "unlocked" state upon initiation of charging?
