8 simple tips to keep your battery healthy
- Use the original charger. A different charger may not match your battery and can damage it.
- Do not run the battery to zero every day. Try to charge before the battery gets very low.
- Let the battery cool after a long ride. In hot weather, wait a little before you plug it in.
- Park and charge in the shade. Strong summer sun and heat are hard on any battery.
- Keep the charging area dry. The battery box is waterproof, but plugs and sockets should stay away from water.
- Do not leave the bike empty for days. If you will not ride for a while, leave some charge in the battery.
- Check your tyres. Correct tyre pressure helps you get more distance from each charge.
- Track your battery on your phone. The E-Bike Companion App shows your battery percentage and range in real time.
Signs your battery needs a check
- Your range drops a lot compared to before.
- Charging takes much longer than usual.
- The battery gets very hot while charging.
