To ensure long battery life, reliable performance, and safe operation, follow these tips when charging your FavoriteBikes battery.
✅ When Should I Charge the Battery?
We recommend charging your battery when it drops below 30%. While your bike will still function down to 10–20%, regularly allowing the battery to get too low may shorten its overall lifespan.
-
Ideal charging range: Start charging when battery is 20–30%
-
Avoid deep discharges: Try not to let it drop below 10%
✅ Should I Charge to 100% or 80%?
Your battery is built to safely charge to 100%, and it’s perfectly fine to do so. However, if you’re not planning to ride long distances right away, charging to 80–90% can help extend the battery’s overall lifespan in the long term.
-
For daily use: Charging to 80–90% is ideal
-
Before long rides: Charge to 100%
💡 Tip: If you're not using the bike for a few days, leave the battery at around 50–70% to reduce long-term wear.
🔋 What Does 100% on the Display Mean?
When your display shows 100%, it indicates that the battery is fully charged based on voltage, not necessarily based on energy capacity.
-
The FavoriteBikes display uses voltage levels to estimate charge.
-
100% means the battery voltage is at its full range (usually around 54.6V for a 48V system).
-
Over time, battery capacity may slightly reduce with normal use, even if it still shows 100% when fully charged.
⚠️ Charging Safety Tips
-
Use only the charger provided with your FavoriteBike.
-
Always charge in a dry, ventilated area—away from direct sunlight or heat.
-
Do not leave the battery charging unattended for long periods overnight.
-
Unplug the charger when fully charged.
