How to store your e-bike battery in winter

In the cold winter months, many e-bike riders take a break from the e-bike. To ensure that your e-bike is stored well protected and ready for use again in spring, JOBOBIKE has a few tips for you.

storage location

The right storage location for your e-bike is crucial to protecting it from the elements and possible damage. Ideally, it should be stored in a dry, well-ventilated area, such as a shed, garage or storage room. Such a storage space protects against moisture, rust and other damage that can occur due to cold and damp weather. Avoid storing your e-bike in locations where your e-bike is directly exposed to the elements.

battery storage

The E Bike Battery is one of the most important components of an E-Bike, so it must be handled properly during storage. It is recommended to remove the battery from the E-Bike, as cold temperatures can affect performance. Store the battery in a cool, dry place, but not near flammable materials. A constant temperature between 0 and 20 degrees Celsius is ideal for battery storage. Regularly check the charge level of the battery during storage and recharge it if necessary.

battery level

Before removing the battery for storage, it is advisable to charge it about half way. A full or empty charge can result in a faster decrease in capacity. The reason for this is that in a partially discharged state the battery is less susceptible to damage from deep discharging or overcharging. When charging the battery, make sure it is completely cool before storage.

cleaning and maintenance

Before storing it, it is important to clean your e-bike thoroughly to remove dirt, dust and moisture. Use a mild cleaner and water to clean the frame, wheels, chain and other components. Be sure to keep the battery and motor area dry. After cleaning, you should treat the chain and other moving parts with lubricant to prevent corrosion and extend the life of the components. Also check the tire pressure and make sure it is set according to the manufacturer's specifications. Check the brakes for wear and make sure they are functioning properly. If necessary, replace worn brake pads.

Summary

Winter storage of your e-bike requires some preparation to optimally protect it and extend its lifespan. Store your e-bike in a dry and well-ventilated place, remove the battery and store it separately, pay attention to the battery charge level and clean your e-bike thoroughly before storage. By following these tips, you can be sure that your e-bike is well protected and ready for next spring.
