HOW DO I ACTUALLY STORE MY E-BIKE BATTERY OVER WINTER?

Many e-bike riders ask themselves this question as temperatures drop over the winter.

There are also guideline values for the temperature and the optimal charging state of the battery for E-Bike Vision batteries.

Often the temperatures are not high enough for the storage of the battery, the self-discharge damages the cells and the battery and they lose capacity.

The right temperature
If you want to store our battery at low temperatures and for a longer period of time, we recommend a temperature of about 17 °C. This is where our battery feels most comfortable and chemical ageing of the cells is reduced to a minimum. Even a short storage period of a few hours at temperatures that are too low or too high can have a negative effect on the battery and cause long-term damage. This is why you should ensure that the battery is stored under the right conditions, even if it is used regularly.

Sufficient charge
With 50 - 70% charge you can store our battery for a longer period of time. The EBV E-Bike Batteries automatically switch to Deep-Sleep mode to reduce the self-discharge caused by the current consumption of the BMS.

Before the next use, the e-bike battery should be fully charged.

Now you can start the new season and get back on your e-bike!

We hope you continue to have fun with our E-Bike Vision Battery!
