YOSE POWER E-bike Battery 24V 10.4AH Electric Bicycle Lithium-ion Battery for Ansmann MIFA, Prophete

Product Information

Many retailers suggest charging the battery at least once a month if the bike is not ridden much, and say that the more the bike is ridden, the stronger the battery will be. All batteries, though, will deteriorate in time and they will need to be replaced and disposed. When that time comes, it’s best to ask your local retailer how to dispose of the battery, but bear in mind that local authorities should provide recycling and disposal facilities. Unlike voltage, which describes how much energy each electron produces, Watt-hours describes the total amount of energy we get from all the electrons. Batteries are measured in Watt-hours, which is a quantity that represents the total amount of useable energy that can be extracted from the battery as a whole.

That may not be a problem to most people, but to a few it might. This article is not about the considerable pros and largely dismissible cons to electric bike ownership, but there remains a proportion of e-bike cyclists who would quite like to be considered cyclists and the e-bike as a slight betrayal to the cycling fraternity. If this resonates with you then maybe the WAU bike is not the ideal choice. If you are ready to embrace e-bikes, with the opportunities and freedoms they can present to people of many physical conditions, then the design makes a positive statement – this is unashamedly an e-bike and wants to be recognised as such. Range is very dependent on your riding style, and where and how you ride, as well as being dependent on the battery capacity. Some ebikes will have multiple batteries that might eke out 100 miles or more from a charge, whereas others, particularly folding ebikes designed for easier carrying and folding and for shorter city rides, may have a range of 20 miles or less. Brakes You'll want a decent set of brakes on an electric bike, given its increased weight. V-brakes are a common type and are easy to replace. Cable (or cantilever) brakes only have a cable running between them, so they're less likely to get clogged with mud and are a good option for off-road cyclists. Disc brakes are increasingly popular, their main advantage being increased stopping power in wet conditions. Assistance levels Different e-bikes have slightly different setups, but most will offer an equivalent of low, medium and high-assistance modes. These usually equate to the motor matching your input, giving one and a half times your input, or doubling it.

Many specific e-bike only manufacturers use unbranded batteries but with trusted cells inside. Rad Power uses Samsung 35E cells. TENWAYS uses Samsung, LG or Panasonic cells. Where to Buy Replacement Electric Bike Battery? Even when dormant, the organised line-up within a battery (grouped together and called cells) react with each other and expend some of their performance. This is called self-discharging. How Long Do Electric Bike Batteries Last?

It takes approximately eight to ten hours for a dead battery to fully charge, which has decreased over time as people have become more aware of the dangers of lead batteries. This will most likely be your most expensive option. But could you consider replacing it via a different source? What about recycling and sustainability? After all, electric cycling promotes environmental good deeds. And then how do you dispose of your old battery safely? Can You Upgrade an E-Bike Battery? It should be a minimum of two years before the average rider needs to look for a replacement electric bike battery. Manufacturers publish in numbers of charging cycles. It’s worth repeating that we all have different requirements for an e-bike, so we can’t be certain how long a battery will last. In the event of a lithium-ion battery fire, don't try to put it out. Get out of the house and call 999 Someone new to cycling who wants the reassurance of a pedal-assisted power on a long day out for five or ten minute bursts of one 30 minute ride a day might only need to charge three times a week. A daily commuter who has a couple of hills to get over might need less.Li-ion offers a variety of cell chemistries to choose from. For electric motorcycles, the three most common batteries are NMC, LCO, and LI-FePO4 (Lithium Iron Phosphate) (LFP). Size, weight and shape Do you still get exercise using an electric bike? Yes. You get your heart rate up, breathe deeper and burn calories whenever you cycle, whether it's an e-bike or not. One charging cycle takes the battery from its discharged state (0%) up to a full charge (100%). 30% to 80% is a half-charge and 35% to 60% is a quarter-charge and so on. The higher quality battery will generate more full charge cycles. Bosch includes a Battery Management System (BMS), which monitors the performance of the individual cells to prolong battery life. There will be multiple assistance levels that you can tailor to your needs and select between as you ride. Select an eco or low assist mode and you will need to put in more effort, but your battery will last longer. We’ll talk below about the perfect environment to run and maintain a battery. But assuming you do this, at least the first 300 charge cycles of all battery types should see it operating at peak capacity and performance.

Branded e-bike battery manufacturers are clear. Their models should not be refurbished. There’s a lot of science going on inside the case that they don’t want you to risk looking at. There are plenty of recognised international safety standards they comply with that you don’t.

First thing that strikes you as you haul it out of its box is that it is heavy – a really solid bit of kit. This makes it feel well-made, but weight is not the friend of the cyclist. More on this later. The intensity of use is a personal or professional choice. For example, a cycle courier uses a bike as a tool of the trade and relies on speed and consistent power to schedule jobs. They may want a longer range for all day use or a larger motor in case of fatigue. They might charge every day or more frequently. When you have unfolded your frame its a good idea to rest your bike on the bike stand which is attached to the left rear chainstay, this makes it much easier to complete the other steps. There are 3 setting on your controller on the handlebar, allowing you to set the level of assistance you require. (Fig.16) You might be unhappy with the range provided by your e-bike battery or the rate at which it can feed power to the motor. Therefore you might consider upgrading. The voltage of the upgraded battery must be compatible with the motor and controller of your e-bike.
