Battery Basics: How Not to Kill a €3,000 Battery

Your battery is the heart of your e-moto.

Treat it well and it lasts years.
Treat it poorly and it becomes very expensive very fast.

Smart charging habits

Avoid extremes:

• don’t store at 0%
  
  

• don’t leave at 100% for weeks
  
  

• aim for 40–70% storage
  
  

Let the battery cool before charging after riding.

Cold weather matters

Cold reduces:

• range
  
  

• power
  
  

• charging speed
  
  

Never charge a frozen battery. Always let it warm up indoors first.

What damages batteries most

• cheap chargers
  
  

• moisture in connectors
  
  

• deep discharge storage
  
  

• ignoring warnings
  
  

Most failures come from storage mistakes — not riding.
