An electric vehicle can be charged when it still has half of its battery left, but it is not advisable to charge an electric bike's battery for an extended period to prevent rapid battery aging. Additionally, never modify the battery wiring without authorization. Below are the charging times and precautions for electric bike batteries: Electric bike charging time: For a new electric bike battery, the first charge should last between 10 to 14 hours. Under normal circumstances, the battery should be charged when its remaining power drops below 30%. If there are still two bars left on the battery indicator, it can be charged for regular electric bikes. Precautions for electric bike charging: Avoid over-discharging the battery, as this can easily damage the internal separators and shorten its lifespan. When an electric bike is not used for a long time, the battery may experience internal leakage, leading to power loss. Therefore, the battery should be fully charged before storage and then recharged every 20 days to a month to prevent damage.
