A healthy battery means more kilometres per charge and fewer trips to the mechanic. The good news is that most of what keeps a battery healthy comes down to a few simple habits.
Everyday habits that help
- Avoid running the battery all the way down to zero before charging.
- Unplug once fully charged instead of leaving it on the charger overnight.
- Park in the shade. Extreme heat is one of the biggest causes of battery wear.
- Use the charger that came with your bike or a genuine replacement.
- Keep terminals and connectors clean and dry.
- If you are not riding for a while, store the battery at around half charge.
- Get your battery checked at a trusted mechanic if you notice a sudden drop in range.
Protect your investment
If your battery is a Crown product, make sure your retailer scans its QR code when you buy it. That starts your warranty in the Rider Pro app, so a claim is simple if anything goes wrong.
