When to Replace Your Battery
Decreased Range: If you notice a significant drop in the distance you can travel on a single charge, it may be time for a replacement. Typically, a healthy battery should allow you to ride for the duration specified by the manufacturer.
Long Charging Times: If the battery takes much longer than usual to charge or fails to hold a charge, it could indicate that it's reaching the end of its life.
Physical Damage: Inspect the battery regularly for any signs of swelling, leaks, or corrosion. Any visible damage is a clear sign that the battery needs replacing.
Frequent Overheating: If the battery overheats during charging or while in use, it's essential to replace it immediately, as this poses safety risks.
