Battery went flat after between 1 and 2 weeks of not being used and I managed to recharge it.
Noticed now, that after only a couple of days, bike is only just starting on battery, but starts all okay if I use it every day.
Also noticed now that key light is flashing sometimes, which I think means the battery is low in the keyless key.
Think bike now needs a new battery for the bike and the key!
Not great after not long ownership, but as it was a left over model, it was probably sat around a while prior to me buying it.
Still enjoying the bike though and it is great fun as well as a very useful bike.
Mileage not going up a lot recently due to cold weather and lockdown, but things are looking up.
My other bike (motorbike) hasnt been out since maybe December last year. But the battery is fine on that one, but it doesnt have the electronics the TMax has so maybe that is why and TMax drains the battery a little when sat.
I never turn off the wireless key as quite frankly I cant be bothered, but I will be some spare batteries this time just in case.
Smart Key Battery is a CR2025 3V
