Orbea Gain battery usage

[Dadam]

I was bored so I made this table of my battery use on some of my rides. The column for assist turned off is the percentage of the time not distance. It's also not very scientific as it doesn't show what level the assist was at when it was on, but representing average assist level across a ride where it changes could get quite complicated.

Bike is a 2023 Orbea Gain D40 XL frame weighing approximately 14.3kg, I weigh approx 90kg.
Battery capacity is 248 Wh

Distance (km)	Ascent (m)	Assist turned off (rough)	Battery usage	Wh/km
84	1812	33%	80%	2.36
102	479	86%	22%	0.53
101	479	78%	22%	0.54
73	1523	79%	45%	1.53
58	1378	4.3%	78%	3.34
51	1248	33%	50%	2.43
50	1157	20%	75%	3.72
47	587	22%	51%	2.69
47	601	24%	44%	2.32
14	152	0	10%	1.77
14	150	0	11%	1.95

One thing I found interesting when looking at the battery stats my Garmin recorded from the bike, was a steady 1-2% drain per hour roughly, while the assist was off. This must be from the lights and the bike circuitry running the internal data capture and the ANT+ connectivity.

Good morning,

That seems to be similar to my experience when using the bike in the rain and it then won't turn off.

It would get through something like a third or half of the charge between Friday evening and first thing Monday morning.

I can't be more precise as I wasn't tracking power levels, but 60 hours at 1-2 watts (best guess) would account for it.

Bye

Ian

Added last Saturday's ride, and also a new column of watt-hours per kilometre (Wh/km), because I love data
