Second Safe Shield Battery Failed
I purchased a new Safe Shield battery in December (for my RadCity 4) to replace the non-recalled battery. Also purchased a new charger for it. A couple of months later the battery quit working (showed full, fuses ok). Local Rad store gave me a new one under warranty and found that the display was also bad, ordered and paid for a replacement. Headlight and tail light had also quit but decided to delay getting a new controller as I don't ride at night and I run flashing tail light when I ride. Brake light also still worked.
Fast forward to today and the same thing happened again. Was riding down hill at the start of my ride with a full battery, braking with display showing 300+ watts (Sales staff says no regenerative braking, so what's the watts displayed?), got to the bottom of the hill (maybe 0.1 mile) and - nothing. Shows full, fuses ok. Rad store says battery is toast again, hasn't tested the display yet (service backed up).
They will probably offer a refund for the battery (display? charger?) leaving me high and dry. They do not troubleshoot the batteries, just recycle.
Has anyone seen a Safe Shield battery failure? Can they not tolerate (regenerative) braking?
