The Battery
Batteries are wear parts. Wear parts also come with a 1-year warranty.
If the battery develops a fault during this period, your specialist cycle shop will of course
replace it. A fault does not constitute normal ageing and battery wear.
The service life of the battery depends on different factors. The most important wear-relevant
factors are:
1) The number of charge cycles
2) The age of the battery.
When you have fully charged and discharged your battery 400 times, it will still have 80% of
its initial capacity providing it has been well looked after:
From a technical standpoint therefore, the battery is "used" at this point. It also goes without
saying that the battery ages. Even if you do not use your battery, its capacity reduces.
You can extend the service life of the battery by fully recharging it after every journey, even if
it is small. The li-ion cobalt battery has no memory effect.
You can also extend the service life of the battery by using the assistance selectively. Avoid,
for example, using gears that make pedaling difficult with the most powerful assist level.
