Starting with firmware version 37, Adventure Control features a redesigned power saving mode (Idle mode) specifically designed for Li-ion and LiFePO batteries.
Key updates include:
Voltage Level Independence: The power saving mode is no longer dependent on voltage levels. This means that even with input voltage exceeding 13.5V (as seen with LiFePO batteries), the power saving features will still function properly.
Exiting Idle Mode: To exit Idle mode, press the button with "Enter" key symbol (the first button below the joystick).
LED Indicators:
- The controller's LEDs will turn off after 20 minutes of inactivity (no user input), while the Bluetooth connection remains active.
- After 3 hours of inactivity, the controller enters deep sleep mode.
Power Consumption:
- When the LEDs are off, the Adventure Control's consumption is approximately 5mA.
- In deep sleep mode, power consumption drops to a few microamps, a level that is effectively negligible from a practical standpoint. For reference, the self-discharge and idle consumption of standard electronics on your bike are significantly higher than this.
Idle mode can also be disabled in the NGH controller settings:

If your controller does not go into the Idle mode, while it should (Idle mode is not disabled and the time-out has passed), please make sure your Adventure control firmware is up-to-date. Connect the controller - go to NGH settings - Controller - scroll down and click "Check for updates" (internet connection is required for this). If an update is available, please install the update. Do not cut power or disconnect the controller during the update process. The update process only takes a few seconds.
