Velotric finally has a fix for failing GoMad chargers
Just wanted to give a heads up cause I haven’t seen anyone mention it: ever since the GoMad released, the chargers have been failing at a decent rate. The fail case has them unable to charge batteries to 100%, and diminishes further - typically unable to charge past 80%, then ~60%. I’ve had three chargers fail, going through the warranty process each time. It’s honestly been really annoying cause I can’t count on ever having enough charge; I’ve found myself bringing my second battery with so I at least have the equivalent of a full battery if charge.
With my last failure a couple weeks ago, I went through the same warranty hoops of videos and pictures, and they came back saying it was approved and they’d send replacements again. I asked if they had actually addressed the root of the problem yet, and surprisingly they said yes, that there is now a revised charger.
They showed up yesterday and lo and behold, it’s definitely a new model of charger. The case is different (so if you used the wall mount from the original charger, that won’t work anymore, and, it doesn’t have a wall mount for this new model either), and even the LED setup is changed too.
Used both of them yesterday to charge my two batteries and it took them both to 100% without issue. Hopefully this will finally be the end of the drama and I can go back to actually trusting the bike!
