i had an idea, my battery was charging and the room temperature was around 5C. I was thinking when I Store after finishing charging, I put it next to a heater and wrap a blanket around the battery so the next day it will be warm or just have a good room temperature. What’s your opinion?
shall we try it together and share information? ( more range etc )
A good idea! If the battery is stored at 25 C and then ridden in air that is 0C, the battery will heat up as it is used and this will prevent it from cooling off, preserving the capacity. The exact amount of cooling of the battery will depend on the outside air and speed the bike is ridden. If the battery is left outside in 0C temperature and then ridden, the capacity will decrease to about 80%.
The capacity of Lithium batteries will decrease as the temperature of the battery decreases. The maximum run time is achieved at temperatures of 25C (normal room temperature). At 0C (32F) the capacity of the battery will be only 80% of the battery at 25C. At a temperature of -20C, battery capacity will be decreased to 60% of a room temperature battery. See chart below.
