Does charging a new battery before it's fully depleted affect the battery?
1 Answers
Charging the battery before it's fully depleted for a long time will reduce the battery's lifespan. Precautions: It's best to fully deplete the battery before recharging it, as this avoids memory effects and can extend the battery's service life. Do not leave the battery in a fully depleted state for extended periods, as this can lead to sulfation of the battery plates. Sufficient charge: When the green light turns on, it indicates that the battery is ready for use or is mostly charged, but it's not yet at 100%. It's recommended to perform a long charge once every week or two, meaning continue charging after the green light turns on for about 16 hours. This can enhance the battery's lifespan. Long-term non-use: If the electric bicycle is not used for an extended period, make sure to charge the battery before storing it and check the charge level monthly.
