Lithium ion batteries degrade over time. The longer they stay charged to a higher voltage, degradation occurs. Also, avoid leaving your battery fully charged if you don&#8217;t plan on riding your e-bike for an extended period.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\tJust as you should only fully charge your battery every few weeks, you should also not fully discharge it all the time. It is recommended that you recharge your batteries when it has between 30% and 60% of its charge remaining.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\tBecause not all e-bikes have the same battery or charger, you should consult your bike&#8217;s manual for proper charging instructions.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\t<br \/>\n\t<span style=\"color:#2980b9;\"><span style=\"font-size:16px;\"><strong>Create a Safe Charging Station<\/strong><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\tIt\u2019s smart to designate a safe place to charge your e-bike battery.

First, make sure you have the right charger and it works fine. If you purchased an e-bike online, then you may want to be more cautious, as batteries end up in shipping containers and in warehouses for a long time and do not receive proper care.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\tPlug in your battery to the charger and let it charge all the way. Once fully charged, your charger should indicate this in some way (e.g. an LED will turn from red to green). Once fully charged, you may want to test ride and make sure there is no unexpected voltage sag.\u00a0\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\t<br \/>\n\t<span style=\"color:#2980b9;\"><span style=\"font-size:16px;\"><strong>Why Bosch?<\/strong><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\tBosch batteries are an efficient, long-life energy source. They combine impressive mileage, long service life and low weight (between 2.5kg and 3.5kg) with ergonomic design and convenient handling.
