How Often Should An Ebike Battery Be Charged?

[AOSTIRMOTOR EBIKE]

The more fully charged the battery, the greater the loss of the battery. The long-term low or no power state will increase the resistance of the battery to the self-movement of electricity, resulting in a decrease in the battery capacity.

For the first use, the new battery should be charged for at least 12 hours. Subsequent use should be supplemented in the actual state. When not in use, it needs to be charged 1-3 times a month.

What do you think?

I got a 4 amp smart charger for my battery. You can select 80, 90 or100% charge. During our long and bitter cold winters the battery will live indoors and i will charge it once a month on the day i pay bills. I plan to charge at the 80% rate and will try not to let it go below 20%

Sounds like a Luna Smart charger, which I have, and seems to work well.

Lithium battery packs deteriorate quicker when stored at a full charge. They last the longest when they're stored at around 30-50% state of charge.

What I plan to do is to not charge my battery pack until it needs it, then run it all week until it's down. (more charge cycles also wear it out)

If you have more range than you need, you could just partially charge it each time, up to maybe 70% capacity, then run it down to maybe 20%; keep it in that low stress zone.

It's good to think about this, as these packs are EXPENSIVE. (one for my Heybike Ranger is $500...)
