To recharge an electric bike’s battery with care, it is recommended to follow these tips:
1. Always charge the battery on a clean, flat surface (source: [EBiking Today](https://www.ebikingtoday.com/15-electric-bike-battery-charging-tips-how-to-charge/)).
2. Do not charge the battery in direct sunlight or next to anything that could overheat and cause the battery to fry (source: [EBiking Today](https://www.ebikingtoday.com/15-electric-bike-battery-charging-tips-how-to-charge/)).
3. If you will go a few weeks or more without riding the bike, store it (or at least the battery) in a dry, room-temperature space with the battery between 30-60 percent of full charge (source: [Bicycling](https://www.bicycling.com/bikes-gear/a40273900/how-to-safely-charge-your-ebike/)).
4. Most e-bikes run on either a 36-volt or 48-volt drive system, so make sure you have the right charger and it works fine (source: [Electric Bike Action](https://electricbikeaction.com/complete-e-bike-battery-care-guide/)).
5. Avoid leaving the battery charged to 100% all the time, as it will lead to range loss over time (source: [Happy Ebikes](https://happyebikes.com/ebike-battery-care/)).
6. Lithium-ion batteries often come shipped at around 50-60% charge, so it is recommended to charge the battery when you receive it, but not all the way to 100% (source: [HowToEBike](https://howtoebike.com/electric-bike-battery-care/)).
A chargeable bike’s battery has charge cycles, and a zero to a hundred percent charge would count as one charge cycle.
To maximize the capacity of the bike’s battery life, it is better to charge your electric bike batteries a minimum of twenty-five percent.
