Pray that you don't because the bike wont start. Last ride was uneventful, no issues to make me think anything was wrong. Parked it in the garage, attached the charger like I did any other time. I will call BMW in the morning. I removed my city but the mileage from the bike is real.
TLDR:
12v at 50% caused bike to not start or charge. Charged the 12v and everything's working again.
Symptoms:
On the press of the start button, TFT screen comes on briefly, red fault light will blink and screen shuts down. If you app does manage to connect to the bike it will give you some crazy SOC like the one in the picture.
Update:
Reminding myself that I needed to get a new battery for my car before taking it in to have some work done. It dawned on me that the bike was acting similar to a car with a dead battery, just without the starter clicking. Looking online yielded no results for the CE-04, but other results for other electric cars and bikes popped up. I went to test the battery and low and behold the SOC was 50%. Disconnected it from the bike and charged it, reconnected it and all is right with the world. At least in my garage.
Battery type: BATTERY AGM - YTZ6V
BMW part number if you hate money: 61 21 1 542 173
