My Rad Rover 6 plus is only a year old and has 1300 miles. Suddenly, the battery stop charging. I have contacted RadPower, but the costumer service is very slow. They asked me twice to send photos and a video. I did it a week ago, but they have not responded
Has anyone else had battery issues on a Rover 6 Plus?
It seems lots of people have had that problem. The charging fuse in the battery pack blows. I believe they use an inferior fuse that fails in a year or so from fatigue. They make it hard to replace, but people on this forum have done it.
Thank you. Is therd a videomshowing how to replace the fuse?
In Service and Repair, the topic RR6+ Battery, near the top, has a link.
I had this same issue when the bike was nearly brand new (RR6+). They made me jump through all kinds of hoops, videos, pictures - and I had to do it multiple times. They wound up (finally) sending me a new battery - after dicking me around for 2 weeks or better.
I did find on the nets a video DIY of someone replacing the fuse. Haven't tried it yet but it sounds like this is a common problem and fairly easy fix:

Upside is that I'll have a spare battery when all I fix the old one :)

It's a common problem and while Rad loves to tell you it's impossible to fix and to buy a new ($600 incl postage) battery they are straight up lying. It's almost always the fuse (appx $1 available anywhere you can buy fuses - I used a spare included in my trucks fuse panel) but they have designed it so that it is unnecessarily difficult to access.
Because it is such a common problem every month or so I'll see a new post on YouTube or other forums on how to fix it. Here's one but there are other more detailed ones out there.
