"Don’t leave your battery plugged in to the charger for long periods. It’s not necessary, and can create a short discharge/recharge cycle that will eventually reduce capacity. If you go long periods without riding the bike, check the battery charge monthly and partly recharge when it drops below 30 percent," wise words from senior manager for quality and compliance at Bosch, a leading e-bike motor systems manufacturer.
Are you an e-bike enthusiast looking to enhance your riding experience and prolong the life of your bike's battery? Look no further than Charge-o-matic, the innovative charging solution designed to address the common challenges associated with modern lithium batteries.
Protecting Your Power Source
E-bike riders know that the lifeline of their ride is the lithium battery. However, three main issues can significantly impact the health and longevity of your battery:
- Permanent Damage from Low Charge: Lithium batteries suffer when left discharged for extended periods, leading to irreversible damage.
- Reduced Lifespan from Short Cycling: Habitually leaving the battery on the charger even after full charge can decrease its overall lifespan--even with high-end modern chargers.
- Fire Hazards: Any charging system is susceptible to malfunctions, posing potential fire risks.
Introducing Charge-o-matic: Your E-Bike Battery's Guardian
Charge-o-matic is a patented long-term electric timer designed to combat all the aforementioned issues. It allows users to easily preset the number of charging hours and the interval of days before the next charge cycle. This means your e-bike's battery gets only the amount of charge it needs, precisely when it needs it.
How Charge-o-matic Works:
- Plug and Play: Simply connect your manufacturer-supplied charging cord into the Charge-o-matic.
- Set and Forget: Adjust the hours knob to match the time needed to fully charge your battery and the days knob to a recommended 30 day cycle.
- Enjoy Automatic Maintenance: Once set, Charge-o-matic ensures your e-bike's battery is never left in a damaging undercharged state and is disconnected from AC power after the set charging time, thus minimizing the risk of fire and avoiding unnecessary short cycling.
