How to Charge an Electric Bike

Electric bikes are powered by a rechargeable battery, and it's important to know how to properly charge the battery to ensure a long lifespan and optimal performance. In this video, we go over the steps for charging an electric bike battery, and also discuss some tips for maintaining the battery, such as avoiding overcharging and storing the bike in a cool, dry place. Whether you're new to e-bikes or a seasoned rider, this video will provide valuable information on how to keep your e-bike battery charged and ready to go.

Note- Please follow your bikes instructions about plugging the charger into a power source. This is usually a wall outlet. If you use an extension cord to charge it, be sure to use an amperage rated extension cord with a 3 prong plug adequate for the task.

I came here to find out if you plug the charger into an outlet, or bike first then the outlet. Thought that was important

My charger is opposite to yours I think. As im charging the light on the charger is red. It's my first charge. Im guessing the light turns green when fully charged 🤷🏼‍♂️ it says on the display it's one bar away from Being fully charged.

They say to keep it charged for 2 hours every month or so, but I use my bike everyday and it’s dead can i still charge it up?

She plugged it in 1st And then She hooked to the battery I just bought 1 and I heard that's the correct way but then when she unhooked it she forgot to unplug it 1st she unhooked it from the battery 1st and I've always heard you unplug it Before you take it out of the battery also.

Okay so im abke to charge the battery when the batteries switch is set to off.

However it can also be charged when the switch is set to on.

But km wondering which is the best way to charge.

I also read online that even the though the battery can be charged when the switch is set to OFF. the BMS most likely turns it on when charging.
