Are you an avid hunter who recently switched to an electric hunting bike? If so, you may have noticed that your bike’s battery capacity decreases rapidly with frequent use. This can be frustrating because it limits the amount of time you have to pursue your passion in this area.
But fear not, there are steps you can take to maximize the battery life of your electric hunting bike and make sure you get the most out of every charge. By following a few simple tips and tricks, you can extend your battery life and enjoy a longer ride without worrying about running out of power.
Why does the battery capacity deteriorate?
Before we dive into how to maximize battery life, let’s first understand why the battery capacity of an electric hunting bike deteriorates over time. Like all rechargeable batteries, the lithium-ion batteries used in e-bikes have a limited number of charge cycles before they start to lose capacity.
Factors such as overcharging, high temperatures, and frequent deep discharges can all lead to battery degradation. In addition, the way you ride your bike – including how fast you accelerate, how steep the terrain is, and how much you’re carrying – also affects the overall health of the battery.
Tips for maximizing battery life
Avoid overcharging: Once the battery is fully charged, it is important to unplug the charger. Charging for a long time will cause the battery to drop.
Store in a cool, dry place: Extreme temperatures can negatively affect battery life. When not in use, store the electric hunting bike in a cool, dry place to help preserve the battery.
FAQ
What is the battery capacity of an electric bicycle?
A typical 36v e-bike requires a battery that can deliver 42v to 30v. A 36v battery pack, fully 100% charged at 42v and holding as much energy as possible, should shut down and stop supplying power at 30v to avoid permanent damage.
How much battery capacity is lost each year?
The key thing to remember is that degradation is a slow process – it doesn’t happen all at once. On average, EV batteries only lose about 1 to 3 percent of their range each year, depending on usage and the specific conditions they are in.
How to measure electric bicycle battery capacity?
To calculate the range of your e-bike, you need to calculate the watt-hour (Wh) capacity of the battery. Watt hours are calculated as watt hours = ampere-hours X volts. For example, bicycle A has a 24V-20AH battery :24V × 20Ah = 480Wh.
Can the eBike battery be repaired?
Repairing and refurbishing your e-bike battery can be a cost-effective and environmentally friendly alternative to complete replacement. At Doctibike, we are proud to offer safe and effective repair solutions to extend your battery life.
Why is my electric bike battery dead?
Batteries degrade over time, and battery wear can cause intermittent power outages. If your e-bike battery is getting old or dying quickly, it may be time to consider replacing it. Consult your bike’s owner’s manual or a professional to determine the proper battery life.
