Extend the lifespan of your battery.
The price of a new bicycle battery is steep. With a few simple tips, you can extend its lifespan.
Charge it properly: Avoid overcharging or letting the battery fully drain. Charge it when it reaches around 20-30% and unplug it once it's fully charged.
Store it correctly: If you won't be using the e-bike for an extended period, store the battery in a cool and dry place with a charge level between 30-60%.
Keep it at a moderate temperature: Extreme temperatures, both hot and cold, can negatively impact battery life. Avoid leaving the e-bike in direct sunlight or extreme cold conditions.
Regularly use the battery: Even if you don't need the full assistance of the motor, use the e-bike regularly to keep the battery active and prevent it from deteriorating due to prolonged inactivity.
Maintain proper tire pressure: Keeping your tires inflated to the recommended pressure can reduce the strain on the battery and improve overall efficiency.
Avoid steep inclines: Climbing steep hills frequently can put a heavy load on the battery. If possible, choose routes with gentler slopes to conserve battery power.
Use the right power mode: Many e-bikes offer different power modes. Use the appropriate mode based on your needs and the terrain to optimize battery usage.
Regular maintenance: Keep your e-bike in good condition by following the manufacturer's maintenance guidelines. This includes checking the brakes, gears, and other components to ensure they are working correctly.
By following these tips, you can help prolong the life of your e-bike battery and enjoy its assistance for a more extended period.
