In order to ensure a good battery life and performance of electric bicycles, it is important for consumers to properly use and maintain the qualified batteries that leave the factory. The battery's longevity and effectiveness are partially dependent on how well it is cared for by the user.
Matching the charger and battery is crucial for the longevity of batteries used on electric bicycles. Many batteries become poorly charged due to improper matching rather than wear. The issue can stem from either a charger that doesn't match the parameters provided by the battery manufacturer or a charger with poor quality components. Initially, the charger may match the battery, but as consumers use it for charge and discharge cycles, the temperature rise and component aging can cause the charging voltage and conversion current to shift, resulting in damage to the battery.
It is crucial to replenish the electricity of your electric vehicle frequently and in a timely manner. Many consumers have a common misconception about the cycle life of batteries, believing that each time the batteries are charged, their lifespan reduces. As a result, they wait until the battery power is consumed fully, down to the controller's protection voltage of 31.5V, before initiating a recharge. However, this practice not only fails to protect the battery but also leads to a reduced lifespan. To avoid this occurrence, it is essential to recharge the battery in a timely manner if possible.
Under no circumstances should an electric bicycle be ridden when the indicator displays undervoltage. Several individuals have been seen riding on the road seeking a break midway through the trip, only to continue riding after the indicator reflects undervoltage. However, this practice is extremely detrimental to the battery and its lifespan. Over-discharging the battery can cause a buildup of lead or salt, leading to a short-circuit and further negatively impacting the battery's lifespan.

On days with rainfall, it's best to steer clear of damp connectors and switches on your electric bicycle to avoid any potential leakage issues.
