We previously shared some tips on how to increase your ebike’s range. And one of our tips is to invest in a bigger battery.
The battery is one of the key components of your ebike. It’s health has a huge impact on its performance and a typical replacement costs around $600, so you would want it to last as long as possible.
Today we’d like to share ebike battery charging tips to get the most out of your electric bike.
Keep your electric bike battery in top shape with these tips. Did we miss anything or do you have any battery charging practices we didn’t cover? Leave it in the comments and we’ll add it to our list.
What are the ramifications if I have not charged the battery initially for 12 hours?
that whole #3 doesn’t make sense (to me). My bike is in the garage. I bring the battery into the screen porch to charge. There is no indication as to charge % on the charger. How can one possibly avoid charging to 100% and what effect does this ‘4 cycles’ have on anything? 54.6 divided by 4: hmm let’s see…that would be 13.65 = 25% charge.
I ride very few miles and the VOL has never gone below 50. Do I not need to charge it til it gets to 13.65?
Keith,
We currently do not offer a bigger battery, sorry. We are working on it.
The display does not show the time of day, but it does show elapsed time from power up.
The battery should be charged off.

In the suggestion, you suggested the we purchase a bigger battery. What dose a bigger battery cost if I buy it with the bike right away? Would I be better off buying a extra battery right away? I don’t drive I only bike. Also the bike Display dose it show the time of day? Are the different kind of display I can get with this bike? Or is there only one? Weird you got 3 Questions on the web Site I don’t see the answer to the Question. Like # 1 question is should the battery be charged with it off or on. I think that means the switch? Can you tell me the name and type of batteries you cell. (I think that’s spell right.) I will have more questions before I buy
Hi Dean, should the battery be charged with it turned “on” or “off”?
Marin,
If you use the “M” button on the pedal assist control while the bike is on, the battery will tell you volts. A full battery is 54.6 volts, so ideally you should store above 45 and below 50
Can you clarify how we can determine battery charge percentages?

I read that lots of e bikess have a USB port to charge your phone. Does the Boogie Bike have that feature? Might be helpful.
