The 300 charges our SLA batteries are rated for is apparently dependant on the discharge...If the battery is 80% discharged each time, 300 is quite accurate. However, I have been told that if the discharge on a daily basis is only 20 -30% (in other words....very short commutes) that the battery life could be extended to 400 -600 charges. Is there any experts out there that agree or disagree?

Also to Kevin - You are absolutely right about "owning the lane." As a cyclist, a driver and an e-bike rider (scooter style) we all deserve respect on the road.
