Electric bike batteries are consumables like other batteries. Normally, after fully charging and discharging 300 times, the battery efficiency will drop to 80%. Of course, the quality of the battery and usage habits have a big influence on the lifespan of the battery.


However, most people can not figure the differences between battery life and battery lifespan. Battery life is“Battery life” is the amount of time your device runs before it needs to be recharged. “Battery lifespan” is the amount of time your battery lasts until it needs to be replaced. Hottech electric bike manufacturer writes this article to teach you how to extend battery lifespan. There are mainly the following 7 points.


1. Store your battery properly:

When not in use, store your battery in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and heat sources. If you're not planning on using your electric bike for an extended period, consider storing the battery at around 50% capacity.


2. Charge your battery correctly:

Charge your battery with the charger provided by the electric bike manufacturer and follow the recommended charging instructions. Avoid overcharging or completely discharging your battery. Try to recharge it before it reaches its minimum charge level.


3. Avoid extreme temperatures:

Try to keep your battery at a moderate temperature, ideally between 0 and 40 degrees Celsius (32-104 Fahrenheit). Avoid exposing it to extreme temperatures, both hot and cold, as they can shorten the battery's lifespan. In particular, lithium batteries and lead-acid batteries are still explosives.


4. Use your battery regularly:

Use your battery regularly, even if you can't ride your e-bike often, try to take it out for a short spin every now and then to keep the battery working. This helps keep the battery active and prevents it from going into hibernation mode.


5. Check the voltage regularly:

Check your battery voltage regularly to ensure it is within the recommended range. If the voltage is too low or too high, it can damage your battery.


6. Clean your battery:

Clean your battery regularly with a soft, damp cloth to remove any dirt or grime. Dust can also sometimes lead to poor electrical circuits.


Finally, be mindful of how you ride your e-bike. Avoid sudden acceleration and hard braking, as these can put unnecessary strain on the battery. Try to maintain a steady pace and use the pedal assist instead of throttle mode whenever possible.


All Hottech electric bikes use lithium battery, and over 50 years’ development, lithium battery technology is very mature, you do not need to treat it as a birth baby. Besides, you can purchase replacement from Hottech electric bicycle wholesaler or distributor when your battery is broken.
