Whether you want to enjoy an afternoon cruise in the park or battle traffic on your morning commute, you'll want to be able to ride your e-bike easily. All of your e-bike systems must function properly. Before we introduced the basic types of electric bike batteries, you can read this article: What Do You Know About Electric Bike Batteries?

The electric bike battery is an essential component. Here are five e-bike charging tips that will make your battery last longer.

Tip No. 1: Charge a New Electric Bike Battery for 12 Hours

Take the time to fully charge a new electric bike's battery for up to 12 hours when you first get it. It ensures current is flowing through all the cells and helps condition the battery right out of the box.

Tip No. 2: Charge Your Ebike Battery Regularly

Regular charging and regular use should extend the battery life of electric bikes, as well as most electric bikes.

You don't need to let your electric bike's battery discharge completely most of the time. Instead, charge the battery when it is between 30 percent and 60 percent full.

However, some battery experts recommend an occasional full discharge, perhaps once every 30 to 40 charges. Otherwise, use the 30-to-60 percent guideline.

For your electric bike battery to be charged regularly, you need to ride it regularly, so let this be another reason to get out and ride.

Tip No. 3: Avoid Temperature Extremes

Like most electric bike riders, an electric bike battery feels the same way about the weather. Moderate temperatures are best.

Whenever you are using or charging an electric bike battery, avoid extreme temperatures.If a battery is to be charged, it should be placed in an environment that is warmer than freezing and no hotter than 110 degrees Fahrenheit at the extremes. But why? During charging, the temperature should be between 60 and 70 degrees Fahrenheit.

Tip No. 4: Don’t Overcharge an Electric Bike Battery

It is not a good idea to leave your electric bike battery on the charger for long periods of time - a few days or more is ideal. If you do this, you can cause the battery to discharge, leaving it at 95 percent of its original capacity. The charger then recharges it to 100 percent. A series of minor discharges and topping off results in poor charging cycles.

Use a timer on your mobile device to remind you to remove the battery from the charger.

Tip No. 5: Don’t Store an Empty Battery

You may need to store your electric bike battery from time to time. Maybe you're about to go on vacation. It may be too cold to ride outside. However, don't store the battery empty, but rather make sure it's about 40 to 70 percent of its full capacity.
