Is it genuinely not charging the battery under throttle? Why would ED specifically not show this...is this just some ED to try and make me think pressing the throttle is bad and not pressing the throttle is good.

Not impressed. A battery charge remaining gauge would have been better than some ED graphical driver distraction.
Not sure why you dont just buy a Ctek charger and get it sorted, if the battery dies you will be in the shit. A charger is £69 a new battery is hundreds, if the battery is that low driving it round wont charge it sufficiently
