What do you need to know about an electric bike battery?

Electric bicycles differ from conventional bicycles in several components. These are the motor, controller, display and battery. The last of these parts is the source of the energy needed to operate the other components of the e-bike.

What type of battery is best for an electric bike?

In electric bicycles, various types of batteries can be found. These include gel, nickel-cadmium, nickel-metal hydride, lithium-polymer, and lithium-ion batteries, with the latter being by far the best and used in high-quality bikes. These lithium-ion batteries are found in all JOBOBIKE e-bike models.

What is the BMS?

The BMS (battery management system) is the management system for the battery system. It controls the charging of the individual cells so that they are charged evenly. The double current protection prevents the battery from overcharging and overheating during charging. The BMS is located in the lithium-ion batteries that the JOBOBIKE bicycles are equipped with.

How many kilometers can you drive with a fully charged lithium-ion battery?

Lithium-ion batteries come in different capacities. How many kilometers you can ride on a single charge of the e-bike battery depends on the battery capacity and the e-bike model.

The range of JOBOBIKE e-bikes varies depending on the model and ranges from 60 km to 120 km. This is the maximum range assuming the cyclist's weight is 60-70 kg and the ride is on flat and hard terrain with the first level of pedal assistance.

The range of an electric bike is also affected by the air temperature. The best performance is achieved at a temperature of 20-25 degrees Celsius, of course with negligible wind.

How many years does the battery of an E-Bike last?

The lifespan of a lithium-ion battery is up to 800 charging cycles. If you charge the battery every other day, it should not lose its capacity for about 4 years. After this period, the battery's capacity may decrease to 80% of its capacity.

How do I care for my lithium-ion battery?

1. Only charge the battery with the battery-specific charger that you received when you purchased your e-bike.

2.Do not store the battery at very high or very low temperatures. The optimal temperature is 10-30 degrees Celsius.

3.Keep the battery charged to at least 60% capacity.

4.Do not leave a charged battery unattended and disconnect it from the charger immediately after charging.

5.Do not completely discharge the battery. When the charge level drops to 20-30%, recharge it.

6.Do not charge the battery when the bike is wet.

7.Avoid long rides in a rain shower to avoid damage to the electronic parts of the bike.

8.Clean your bike after a ride to remove sand and mud.
