Ok this might seem strange [it certainly is to me] but it might actually be normal and I don't know it yet LOL.
Ok so as it is getting colder I am noticing of course a reduction in the distance I can travel. Rather severely.
I could go 20 km in the summer. But I am down to 7 or less km now that it is 9 degrees Celsius out.
I expected this as everyone mentions it with lead acid AGM's.
However, what I did not expect was that I am going faster in my mobility scooter for the first half of the batteries life.
I mean 2 kph faster.
For instance coming home tonight I was going up a hill that normally I only get 4 or maybe 5 kph. I was going between 7.2 and 7.8 kph UPHILL.
This is very significant.
And on the level I have gone from 9.5ish up to 11.2 or more at times.
So what I am wondering is this.
I know most here use lifepo batteries [or at least lithium-ion].
Has anyone else noticed an increase in your speed as it gets colder?
Thanks guys. :)
