Many practices can cause severe damage to an electric bike’s battery, resulting in high service costs. Such practices include:
1. Charging the electric battery above 90% and letting its charge drop below 20% causes it to lose its charge storing capacity.
2. Leaving the battery connected to the charging source overnight.
3. Letting the battery deplete fully before connecting it to a charging source causes the battery liquid to dry up and lose its range.
4. Carrying excessive weights on the electric bike can stress the battery and cause it to lose its capacity and range.
5. Riding the electric bike at changing accelerations will stress the battery and affect its range.
6. Excessively relying on electrical assistance will cause the battery to deplete more quickly. As a result, it will have to be recharged more frequently and would have its lifespan shortened in the process.
7. Riding the electric bike deliberately over rougher landscapes and climbing slopes on a high gear will affect the battery’s range and performance.
8. Riding the electric bike in extremely hot weather without covering the battery. The high external heat will cause the battery’s liquid to heat up.
9. Prolonged exposure to extreme heat can cause the battery liquid to catch fire, causing the battery to explode.
10. Connecting the electric bike’s battery to the charging supply while it is too hot.
11. Riding an electric bike while the battery is too cold and has not had enough time to warm up.
