Make your battery perform better and live longer

E-bikes have become an increasingly popular transport option, offering an environmentally friendly and convenient solution for commuting and leisure. Battery life and performance are crucial for a comfortable and reliable e-bike riding experience. Optimising the e-bike battery involves a number of measures aimed at extending its life and maximising its performance.

Charge and store the battery correctly

One of the most important factors in extending battery life is to charge and store it correctly. Follow the manufacturer's instructions on charging time and avoid exposing the battery to extreme heat or cold. Storing the battery at moderate temperatures and charging it regularly - even when you're not using the e-bike - will help maintain battery health.

Avoid deep discharge

Avoiding letting the battery discharge completely can extend its lifespan. Deep discharge can cause increased stress on the cells, which can reduce capacity over time. It's best to recharge the battery when it reaches around 20-30 % of its capacity.

Maintain the battery

It is important to regularly maintain your e-bike battery. This means keeping the contacts and plugs clean. You should also regularly lubricate the bike's chain to avoid straining the motor. And it's a good idea to check the condition of the battery in general on a regular basis.

Drive with appropriate assistance

Riding with appropriate pedalling assistance and adjusting how much power you use can help conserve battery life. Avoid constantly using the highest power setting. This can extend battery range and life on a single charge.

Upgrade to the latest technology

Some e-bike manufacturers offer battery upgrades that can improve both performance and longevity. Upgrading to more advanced batteries with higher energy density and longer lifespan can be an option for those looking to improve their e-bike experience.

Optimising your e-bike battery is essential to ensure long-term use and maximum performance. By following these guidelines, e-bike enthusiasts can extend battery life and maintain its efficiency. All for a more reliable and enjoyable riding experience.

When the battery stops working

One error you may experience is that your e-bike's motor stalls while riding. The electric motor stops working or only works intermittently. The cause can be several things: problems with the battery, sensor, controller, display, wiring harness and more.
