Extreme heat or cold can stress your battery


Your e-bike battery is the heart and soul of your electric adventures. Just like any champion athlete needs proper training and care, your battery thrives with optimal charging practices. Here are some essential tips to transform you into a charging champion and ensure your e-bike battery delivers its best performance

Know Your Charger:

  • Matchmaker, Matchmaker: Always use the charger that came with your e-bike or one specifically recommended by the manufacturer. Using an incompatible charger can damage your battery.
  • Understanding the Indicators: Familiarize yourself with the lights or signals on your charger. Typically, a solid green light indicates a complete charge.

Charge Like a Pro:

  • The Sweet Spot: Most e-bike batteries perform best when charged between 20% and 80%. Avoid letting it completely drain or constantly topping it up – both can shorten its lifespan.
  • Time for a Recharge: Develop a charging routine. Ideally, charge your battery after each ride, or when it reaches a specific low point. This helps maintain optimal battery health.
  • Don't Leave it Hanging: Once the charging cycle is complete, unplug both the charger from the wall and from your e-bike. Leaving it plugged in won't harm the battery, but it's unnecessary and some chargers might have a trickle charge that can reduce battery health over time.

Environmental Champions:

  • Temperature Matters: Extreme heat or cold can stress your battery during charging. Ideally, charge your e-bike in a cool, dry place with moderate temperatures.
