Cold Weather and your Battery
Below 10 degrees Celsius, the battery will not work as well as it would in warmer tempera-
tures. While Lithium-Ion batteries perform better than Lead-Acid batteries in temperature
extremes, both will experience reduced performance in cold temperatures.
Also, repeatedly riding the e-bike in cold temperatures may cause your battery to have to
be replaced sooner.
