Maintenance Tips

• Charge regularly and avoid dropping below 20% to reduce lithium cell stress
• Keep daily usage in the 20–80% charge range for maximum lifespan
• Store at 40–60% charge if not used for long periods
• Keep battery in a cool, dry environment (15–25°C ideal) and avoid heat above 40°C
• Always use the original ENGWE 48V charger only to avoid BMS or cell damage
• Let battery cool for 20–30 minutes after riding before charging
• Avoid leaving the battery on charge overnight as a daily habit
• Keep contacts clean and dry to ensure stable power delivery
• Do not expose to heavy rain, flooding, or pressure washing near connectors
• Inspect casing and mounting regularly for looseness, swelling, or vibration wear
• Recharge every 1–2 months during storage to prevent deep discharge failure
