To maximise the life of the battery in your Bosch-equipped electric bike, following good charging practices is essential. Modern lithium-ion batteries, commonly used in Bosch electric bikes, require a careful approach to maintain their long-term performance.
First and foremost, always use the original charger supplied by Bosch. These chargers are designed specifically for Bosch batteries, ensuring optimum charging and avoiding compatibility problems.
Ideally, charge your battery when it reaches a level of between 20 % and 80 %. Avoid letting the battery discharge completely or keeping it constantly at full charge. This charging range will help the battery to last longer.
During the charging process, make sure your bike is in a dry place and at a moderate temperature. Extreme temperatures, whether very hot or very cold, can affect battery performance. We recommend charging the battery at a temperature of between 10°C and 30°C.
Connect the charger to the battery and to a standard power supply. The connectors are generally designed to be simple and intuitive, ensuring correct connection. Make sure that the charging indicator lights up, indicating that the charging process has begun.
Full charging can take several hours, depending on battery capacity and initial charge level. Most Bosch chargers are equipped with intelligent systems that adjust the charging voltage and current according to the battery's needs, ensuring optimal charging without overcharging.
Once the charge is complete, disconnect the charger. Avoid leaving the battery connected all the time, as this could lead to a slight discharge and affect the battery's longevity.
In short, by following these steps and adopting good charging habits, you'll help prolong the life of your Bosch electric bike battery, ensuring optimum performance on the road.
