What is the lifespan of a motorcycle battery?
1 Answers
Battery life is generally about 300 full charge-discharge cycles. A battery is a consumable item and relatively expensive, so it is essential to use and maintain it properly to extend its lifespan and maximize its utility. Additional information is as follows: Avoid storing the battery in a discharged state: A discharged state refers to when the battery is not recharged promptly after use. In this state, sulfation is likely to occur, where lead sulfate crystals form on the plates, blocking ion channels and leading to insufficient charging and reduced battery capacity. The longer the battery remains unused in a discharged state, the more severe the damage becomes. When the battery is not in use, it should be charged once a month to prolong its lifespan. Regular inspection is necessary: During use, if the electric bike's range suddenly drops by several kilometers in a short period, it is likely that at least one battery in the pack has issues such as broken grids, softened plates, or shedding of active material from the plates, leading to a short circuit. In such cases, promptly visit a professional battery repair facility for inspection, repair, or replacement.
