Ather 450 now gets a guide-me-home light. In this system, the headlamp stays on for 20 seconds after the scooter is switched off. This would not affect the battery to much extent.
Mechanical changes include revisions to the electric motor. The noise by the motor and charging fan has been reduced, and they will be switched off when not needed. Further, you cannot remove the charger till the motor is on.
All these updates are just done over-the-air. The last update gave the Ather a better riding range and revised riding modes. Navigation system also received an update and now shows alternative and time-saving routes.
