So a friend of mine has a Specialized E-Bike and has had it for maybe 3mths and now she has a battery issue. Some googling suggests her issue is not exactly uncommon but as usual going through warranty with Specialized is like pulling teeth and last correspondence with them suggests she may have to buy a new battery already.
So that got me thinking about the batteries in general. They are still essentially lithium ion tech? And a lot of laptop manufactures won’t replace the batteries unless they fail. They state reduced battery life is the norm for these batteries as they will decay as part of their normal life span. I am wondering what the go will be with E-Bikes in the future? Until new battery tech becomes available is it just going to be built into the price to replace them under warranty or will you have to buy new?
