Riding a Dead Battery - to Death
Thought I should share my STOOPID experience - attempting to drain the last electron out of a miniPRO battery - riding to absolute empty.
Of course the miniPRO gives ever-increasing signals, economy-mode slowing etc. We are SO used to "Dancing OFF" the miniPRO (miniPLUS) when in whatever trouble - tires still "powered". This youtube-performance Dance-Off does NOT apply with the Segway decides to POWER OFF and free-wheel. Much like standing on super-slick ICE that is only slippery in two directions. (Ever tried standing / balancing with Power OFF?) I calculate you impact the ground HARD in 0.56 seconds. Face-plant biting the pavement, or splitting the back of your melon. Do NOT ride the battery to "Zero". Besides possibly killing the rider, it's BAD for the battery. |
