Have you ever wondered how to reset your e-bike battery? Your role in maintaining the e-bike battery is significant. Let’s dive into this article to gain knowledge about it. If you haven’t ridden your e-bike for a while, it is the nature of any battery to go down into hibernation mode automatically. The same was the case with me. I was out for a while on a long vacation, and when I came back. If I had to go to work or commute, I should look after my e-bike to see whether it was fully charged and working correctly.

When I plugged in the charger on my e-bike, I was surprised to see a green light flashing, and the controller showed that the battery was fully charged. Previously, a red light would come on for some time, even when the battery was fully charged. So, it was clear that my e-bike battery had gone into hibernation mode.

I shared the whole situation with a friend of an experienced e-bike owner. He told me one method that might work. While the process he suggested worked for me, I want to share it with you all in case it might work for you.

1. 1. The first step is to find the controller’s wire attached to the e-bike battery.
   2. Check the connector pins to see whether they are in proper good condition or damaged. 
   3. Then, unplug it for at least 15 seconds and reinstall the wire plug.
   4. You can also disconnect the e-bike battery and remove it from your e-bike.
   5. It should work for you now. In my case, all the error codes that were there for some reason were too removed.
   6. It was a moment of relief and satisfaction for me, knowing that I could now enjoy riding my e-bike again. I was very happy for a successful reset.
   7. On a side note, most battery systems are equipped with a BMS, the battery management system. This system regulates the state of charge, battery performance, and safety.
   8. If your e-bike has error codes for any reason, resetting BMS also removes them, resulting in better performance of your e-bike.
   9. Almost all e-bikes have a BMS located inside their battery casing.
   10. You can watch the video below to understand the term BMS better.

Read & try this method:

So let me tell you another method if the previous method doesn’t work for you.

1. Before proceeding with this method, I want to tell you that your e-bike must be 100 percent charged for this resetting process.
2. Now, ride your electric bike to that extent so that it is fully discharged and no cell bar should be left.
3. Leave your e-bike in its ideal state for 10 to 12 hours. During that time, the battery cells stabilize in a normal state. 
4. You can now fully charge your e-bike battery with the manufacturer’s charger you get when purchasing a new e-bike.
5. If required, you can repeat this process to ensure a 100 percent complete reset process to be completed.
6. If you want more methods to reset your e-bike, feel free to watch the video below.

PLEASE NOTE:

1. Remember to check the battery connector pins. Sometimes, when you mount and unmount your battery, these pins spark, decreasing their life over time due to corrosion. In this case, you have to change the connector pins.
2.  Also, remember to check the voltage of your e-bike battery with a voltmeter. This step is also very important. For example, a 48-volt battery that is fully charged must show 53 volts on the voltmeter, and a 36-volt battery must show 42 volts.
3. I suggest you properly maintain it by cleaning and lubricating it to extend its life.
4. You must check out your manufacturer’s manual for more information on maintaining and caring for your e-bike battery.
5. It is always better to reset your e-bike on time to restore the optimal performance that we have been getting from day one. 
6. There are many alternate ways to charge your e-bike battery other than the original charger.

Importance of E-bike battery:

Your e-bike battery is a significant component that helps you keep rolling across the e-bike trails. It also acts as a power source and supplies power to commute wherever you want. The e-bike battery is responsible for most of the e-bike’s performance, including the riding range or mileage you will get in one full charge.

• The battery installed on the e-bike plays a significant role and is responsible for the features you see on your e-bike. Without a battery or a dead battery, your e-bike is just a regular cycle.
• The battery installed on the e-bike plays a significant role and is responsible for the features you see on your e-bike. Without a battery or a dead battery, your e-bike is just a regular cycle with no features.
• By properly caring for and resetting your e-bike battery on time, you can significantly extend its lifespan and avoid premature replacements, saving you substantial costs in the long run.

If you are new to the e-bike community, you may wonder how long it takes for an e-bike battery to charge fully. The e-bike typically comes with a standard charger, but some companies also provide fast or turbochargers that boost the charging speed. 

• If you use a standard 2-amp charger to charge your e-bike and have 20 percent battery left, your charge time would be around 8 hours.
• The total charging time will be around half the standard charge if you have a fast or turbocharger.

PLEASE NOTE:

• Use the charger that comes with your e-bike manufacturer. Different models of e-bikes have different voltages. Some support 30 and 48 volts, so you can’t mix and match them.
• Please don’t try to keep your e-bike battery in high temperatures, and don’t put it in the trunk of your car.

Safety tips for e-bike battery charging:

Safety should be the priority for all e-bike owners, and I thought the same thing. After doing deep research on the internet and discussing it with my friends who had been riding e-bikes for a while, I have jotted down some essential safety tips related to e-bike battery charging, listed below.

•  The first very important point is that you should refrain from trying to modify your e-bike battery or charger at any cost. After changing your battery and charger, you may encounter a short circuit in your e-bike. This can be due to a high voltage supply into the wiring system of your e-bikes.
• It would be best to keep your battery dry and clean, especially when cruising in the rain. Drying out your battery is all you must do because impurities can affect its performance and life span.
• E-bike batteries don’t like high or low temperatures. Please remember that don’t charge your battery below 0 centigrade and above about 30 centigrade. 
• Experts always recommend that room temperature is the best temperature to charge your e-bike battery.
• Charge your battery only up to 50 percent. Don’t try to charge your battery fully if you are going on vacation. According to chemistry, this is not good.

I hope that this article helped and that I was able to solve your problem by successfully fixing the battery reset process, providing information on safety battery tips, etc. If not, feel free to leave me a comment below, and I will try to help you fix that particular issue. Also, thank you so much for your trust and time. Please remember ebikeleague and return if you face any difficulty with your electric bike.
