So this week I’ve developed abit of a habit to ride my Exway early in the morning and evening. I just got back from a + - 8km ride and I’ve got 50% left on the board.
Is it advisable to charge when lower than a certain percentage, in which case I can’t do the same range tomorrow, or am I able to charge it again now!
I’m just thinking about the best way to “treat” these batteries
The best method of getting longetivity out of your pack is to only charge it to 90-95%. I don’t think it matters at what percentage you start the charge.
With that being said most batteries are rated for 250-300 full cycles. That’s close to a year if you charge everyday. I just charge my batteries to 100% Everytime a year of use is more than enough for me. Plus I only charge every other day so I could get more use out of them.
word of advice. When the battery says 50% you don’t actually have half the range again. You try that 8km ride again and you will be walking home. Lipo don’t mind being charged from 50%.
Do a range test on the thing to understand the absolute limits or you will suffer from dreaded range anxiety
