Do you remove your e-bike battery when storing the bike?
I've been wondering what everyone does with their e-bike battery when the bike isn't being used.
Do you normally leave the battery fitted to the bike, or remove it and store it indoors?
I'm particularly interested in what people do during the winter, especially if the bike is kept in a cold garage or shed. Does anyone notice a difference in battery performance or range when the temperature drops?
Interested to hear what everyone else does.
Depends - during the winter, I'd definitely bring it indoors, even just for an evening.
Yep, during the milder months, I'll happily leave it on the bike, but once the temperature drops much below 10 degrees, it's going inside. Incidentally, you should always charge batteries at room temperature. If they've been in the cold for a while, leave them at room temperature for an hour or so before plugging in the charger.
