For a longer life of Li-ION batteries, it is essential to follow the correct rules for charging, discharging, storing and using them, and to check their condition regularly.

Li-ION (lithium-ion) batteries are a popular type of energy source used in electric scooters and bicycles. These batteries have many advantages, but correct maintenance and use are essential to ensure their long-lasting and efficient operation. In this article, we will discuss some important recommendations on how to properly care for Li-ION batteries to make them last longer.

  1. Charging the battery
  2. Unloading level
  3. Storage
  4. Correct use
  5. Periodic battery health check
The long life of Li-ION batteries depends on maintaining the correct charge and discharge levels, proper use and proper storage conditions.

1. Charging the battery: The first and most important rule is to charge the battery correctly. The battery should always be charged using an original or reliable charger that meets the manufacturer’s recommendations. Do not use cheap or unknown chargers, as they may be of poor quality or not properly adjusted, which can cause damage to the battery or shorten its life.

2. Discharge level: monitor the battery’s discharge level to make sure it doesn’t get too low. Li-ION batteries have a longer life if they are stored between 20-80% of discharge. Avoid letting the battery run down completely or stay on a high charge for a long time, as this can reduce its life expectancy.

3. Storage. The battery should be stored in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight or high temperatures. It is recommended to keep the battery at ~80% charge.

4. Correct use: the battery must be used according to the manufacturer’s instructions and recommendations. Avoid overcharging the battery. Also avoid using the battery in extreme cold or heat, as this may adversely affect its performance.

5. Periodic battery health check: check the condition of the battery regularly to make sure its connections are clean and undamaged. If you notice any damage or other problematic conditions, we recommend that you have your car diagnosed and inspected at a FabiRide workshop. Experienced technicians will help you solve the problem and keep your battery efficient.

Conclusion

Li-ION batteries can last a long time with proper care. Remember the following basic rules: correct charging, avoid over-discharging or over-charging, proper storage, correct use and periodic condition checks. If you follow these recommendations, your Li-ION batteries will last efficiently and longer, giving you longer life in your electric scooters, bikes or other electronics.
