2025 snowblower current usage

Are there specs on nominal ranges for each motor? I’ve checked in multiple places and can’t find.

Early season, I’d be able to do my full driveway with the S1 and an additional plow mode run. Now I can’t do even 1/5th of the driveway without needing to recharge. Something definitely seems to be wrong. I’ve seen mention of belt issues or drive issues and I’m curious if anyone observed this behavior prior to failure. I have seen a couple overheating errors trigger, and an Auger overcurrent error trigger.

Here’s recent snapshots:

I honestly never really paid attention to the auger load. However, someone here probably has. I would suggest you get a ticket submitted though so that they can check everything out. Keep in mind different types of snow, depths, and auger speeds will have a huge impact on your battery life as well.

Thanks @bryan.wheeler will submit a ticket.

It now takes me a day to do the full driveway with 3 inches of snow due to the recharge time. It’s a drastic change from earlier on when I first started - conditions are otherwise unchanged.

I would also recommend that you thaw the snow blower out and check everything over like the belt, auger, impeller, etc. Maybe it’s just snow/ice buildup.

Hi there, based on the information you provided, it does sound like something may not be functioning normally. We recommend submitting a support ticket so our support team can investigate this further and help identify the cause.

I believe the snow intake effect number in the settings directly correlates to the average amps the motor draws. I have mine set to 45 and it fluctuates between 40-50

What in his diagnostic information he posted makes it abnormal?

I’ve seen peaks up to ~80 iirc, and traversing, no load, on power mode, is less than 10 amps typically…wish the data was available to log in Homeassistant…hint hint :smiley:
