?? fault on heated oxford heated grips. advice please???

[A Heavy Sake Jar]

hi Folks,

I have the oxford heated grips with battery saving mode.

the problem is that when its really cold, they go into battery saving mode. they work fine when its not really cold.

I have a new Yuasa battery in it, so i know its not the battery.

anyone else have any answers / solutions they could share??

I would contact oxford and see what they say!

it might be a known problem

also check connections to the battery

also check how much charge you are getting at cold temps too as it could be a charging problem

If its a know problem, let me know because I have the same issue. I just figured it was a loose connection somewhere, but its not been cold enough for me to bother to trace the wires though.

I've emailed Oxford explaining the situation. I'll post their reply on here when I get it.

Mine work spot on, is your bike charging as it should when really cold? As they are designed to switch off when voltage drops below expected

- its a brand new battery. works fine, i had it tested before fitting

The battery is irrelevant to be honest

its the charging circuit you need to check

if the charging circuit is only putting out say 12.4v when cold then this would put the grips in to battery saving mode

I didn't mention the battery. Check the bike is charging correct
