Chamrider Battery is an ebike battery manufacturer and electric bicycle battery factory with 12 years of experience. 

Almost all electric bicycles are powered by lithium-ion batteries. These batteries have a very high energy density, which makes electric bikes relatively lightweight while providing long range. Despite the advantages of lithium batteries, one major challenge they face in terms of safety is the potential release of energy in the form of a fire if something goes wrong.



In terms of suppliers, ChamRider ensures that we use the highest quality materials in our batteries, such as LG/Panasonic lithium-ion batteries. They also design batteries with protections against overcharging, overdischarging, overcurrent, temperature cutoff, and many other safety features.



At ChamRider, everyone shares the core belief in educating customers about the potential hazards and the importance of taking preventive measures to ensure their safety.






This article aims to provide you with a useful guide. Therefore, we will discuss tips for safe charging and storing of lithium-ion batteries, as well as measures to take in case of emergencies.



How to Safely Charge an Electric Bicycle Battery


Most reported battery fires occur during the battery charging process. Therefore, consumers must be extra cautious when charging. Here are some tips regarding the correct charging process:



Always use the charger recommended by the manufacturer; if you purchase an aftermarket charger, ensure that it has UL certification and specifications identical to the original charger. Using a fast charger for non-fast-chargeable batteries can be dangerous.

Avoid placing the battery near heat sources such as heaters. High temperatures can damage lithium-ion batteries and lead to thermal runaway incidents.

Do not place the charger or battery on or near flammable materials like wooden furniture or building structures. Always try to place the charger and battery on a fire-resistant surface or space.

Always keep the battery within sight while charging. As an additional precaution, place a smoke alarm near the battery.

In the event of a fire, the initial few seconds are crucial as you still have a chance to extinguish it before it becomes uncontrollable; therefore, prompt response is essential.

Turn off the battery while charging.

It is normal for the charger to become warm during the charging process, but the battery should never become hot (warm to the touch). If you notice the battery becoming hot, disconnect it.

Avoid charging in temperatures below zero degrees as this can cause dendrite growth on lithium-ion batteries, leading to short circuits and fire incidents.

Charge in a well-ventilated area.

Do not leave the battery charging overnight.



Proper Storage of Lithium-Ion Batteries


The lithium-ion battery of your electric bicycle requires proper storage, and you can take some measures to ensure appropriate storage.



When storing the battery for an extended period, charge it to around 60%.

Avoid storing it in extreme temperatures or high humidity.

Do not use damaged batteries that are dropped, punctured, squeezed, or otherwise compromised.

If a lithium-ion battery catches fire, use a fire extinguisher to put it out (be cautious as such fires produce toxic smoke).

Avoid extinguishing lithium-ion battery fires with water, although it can be used to extinguish the fire, a report by the U.S. Department of Energy found that it requires excessive amounts of water.

Do not store batteries or charge them near a single point of exit.



Safe Use of Lithium-Ion Batteries
If the battery starts smoking, making unusual noises, or shows signs of melting, stop using it immediately and place the battery in a safe location.

If you notice drastic changes in voltage/performance, discontinue using the battery.

If you immerse the battery pack/bicycle in water, have it professionally inspected before using it again (moisture inside the battery pack indicates water has entered and may cause a short circuit).

Always use the battery with the product it comes with; do not use it for any other purposes.






Emergency Response Measures


For any electric bicycle owner, following the tips mentioned earlier can reduce the likelihood of emergencies. However, accidents can still happen. Therefore, it is important to familiarize yourself with measures to ensure the safety of yourself, loved ones, or anyone around you.



In general, when a lithium-ion battery catches fire, you can take the following three steps:



Use a fire extinguisher:

Depending on the size and type of the battery, there are several methods to extinguish a lithium-ion battery fire. You need to react quickly and prevent the fire from spreading.

Since fires caused by lithium-ion batteries are classified as Class B fires, you should choose a standard ABC or dry chemical fire extinguisher. The Class B classification is intended for distinguishing flammable liquids. As lithium-ion batteries contain liquid electrolytes, they fall under this category.



When burning, toxic liquid acts as a conduit for the fire, aiding in its rapid spread.



You can use the fire extinguisher to spray the flames until the fire is extinguished. The steps are as follows:



Pull out the safety pin to enable the use of the fire extinguisher.

Aim the nozzle at the base of the fire.

Squeeze the handle firmly.

To ensure the flames are completely extinguished, sweep the nozzle back and forth at the base of the fire.



Take the battery outside the building:

If you suspect any issues with the battery, such as excessive heat, liquid leakage, or unusual noises, you should place it in a safe, open outdoor space and wait for the battery to return to normal. Note that you should not attempt to handle a battery that is on fire or leaking, as it may pose a danger to you.

If the battery catches fire, wait for all the batteries to burn out, and then attempt to extinguish the fire.



Call the fire department:

Fires caused by lithium-ion batteries fall under the category of thermal runaway incidents. Subsequently, a fire involving an electric bicycle battery can present multiple hazards, such as toxic smoke, flames, and metal projectiles. After taking the necessary measures mentioned above, if you are unable to control the fire, contact the nearest fire department in your area.

Assess the severity of the situation and avoid approaching a burning battery. If you are not comfortable handling the fire, wait for the firefighters to arrive.



What safety features does ChamRider Electirc Bike Battery contain?



In order to ensure that our products meet your highest quality and safety expectations, ChamRider seeks and has been granted Canada's first UL 2849 electric bicycle certification.



The latest advancements in Battery Management Systems (BMS) allow for better control of the electric bike's battery pack from various aspects, such as battery operation and its charging and discharging. ChamRider's ultimate goal is to optimize the battery's performance and lifespan.



While we ensure to provide electric bike batteries that exceed industry standards, here are some safety features of ChamRider batteries.



Charging Protection (Voltage and Current)

If the charging voltage or current exceeds the specified range, ChamRider batteries will cut off the charging process; this ensures that charging is stopped in case of any faults.



Battery Balancing

Battery balancing improves the available capacity of the battery; additionally, unbalanced batteries may be damaged and result in malfunction over the long term. That's why ChamRider batteries are equipped with battery balancing and battery balancing cutoff functions. This way, if one of the batteries is permanently damaged and unable to balance, the battery will shut down.



Discharge Protection (Voltage and Current)

During product operation, voltage and current values are measured; if the voltage is too low or the current value is too high, the BMS will cut off the battery for safety reasons.



Short Circuit Protection

Short circuits in lithium-ion batteries are always dangerous. They can damage your battery and shorten its lifespan. In the worst-case scenario, a short circuit can pose serious risks such as battery fires or explosions, resulting in personal injury, property damage, or even death. ChamRider batteries have short circuit protection designed to monitor battery voltage and prevent hazardous situations caused by battery short circuits.



Temperature Cutoff Protection

ChamRider lithium-ion batteries incorporate temperature cutoff protection mechanisms that shut down the battery when the temperature exceeds the safety threshold.



Conclusion


Today, lithium-ion batteries are widely used in electric bikes. While these batteries themselves are not inherently dangerous, improper handling by some electric bike users has resulted in numerous fire incidents. This article discusses the safety measures to be taken during lithium-ion battery charging.



We also discuss the proper usage and storage methods that can be followed when dealing with such batteries.



Lastly, we discuss the safety measures taken by ChamRider to ensure the use of high-quality batteries in our electric bikes. These measures include short circuit protection, battery balancing, discharge protection, and temperature cutoff protection.

Electric bicycles are fantastic, but they are also an investment, and a crucial component of that investment is the battery. Unfortunately, just like your old phone now needing to be charged every five minutes, electric bicycle batteries inevitably degrade over time and lose some of their capacity. If you want to learn how to keep your electric bicycle battery healthier for longer, check out our expert tips and advice.



1. Pedal effectively and use gears



The fewer times you charge and discharge the battery, the longer its lifespan. It makes sense to try to find a balance of power during each ride, meaning pedal wisely.



Electric bicycle motors are designed to work with a normal to high pedaling cadence; they're most efficient and consume the least amount of energy. Bosch recommends keeping your cadence above 50, avoiding slow grinding, and making full use of the lovely gear distribution that comes with your bicycle.



Similarly, make full use of the modes provided with your electric bicycle—ideally, you want to use the lowest power setting you can handle to seek greater range, but not if it slows down your cadence to a crawl.





2. Avoid full charging and discharging of the battery


Batteries themselves have built-in computer chips to regulate their output and charging. This means they will never completely deplete and ruin themselves in the process.



However, performing full charges and discharges on the battery every time you go out does impose a higher load on the battery. So, if you consistently go out with a fully charged battery and then bring it back inside, you'll need to rinse and repeat. Instead, try to stop riding before the battery is completely drained on each ride... easier said than done.



3.Charge the electric bicycle battery at room temperature


Now, this is a big one. Charging the battery at room temperature is crucial, with the ideal temperature being between 10-20°C (50-68°F), definitely not below freezing. ChamRider advises charging the battery indoors, in a dry place with a smoke detector (lithium-ion batteries have proven to be very safe, but in extremely rare cases, they can catch fire if short-circuited). Charging outside of this temperature window will result in reduced range and shorter battery lifespan, as colder objects have increased resistance, causing a decrease in electrical capacity.



Riding for a few hours in cold weather is not bad for your battery since it will reach a certain temperature regardless of the environmental conditions. However, starting from warm is important. This means that if you're driving a van, place it in front of you and the heater, and put it on the bike immediately before riding. Also, avoid taking it directly from a cold shed; warm it up inside beforehand.




During the summer, don't leave it in direct sunlight either, just like your phone, as high temperatures increase the load on the battery. In theory, if the battery overheats, the motor will automatically shut off, just like on a laptop, but we haven't experienced such a situation.

Avoid fully depleting or fully charging the battery

If you haven't ridden your electric bicycle for a few days, weeks, or months, it's important not to leave it fully charged or completely drained. Bosch recommends keeping it at around 30-60% capacity, while Shimano suggests keeping it at 70%. Recharge the battery every 6 months, and of course, fully charge it before riding again.



Avoid excessive water usage around the motor and battery area



Clean carefully, avoid high-pressure cleaning

Bosch suggests removing the battery before cleaning the bike, while Shimano recommends keeping it in place to protect the terminals. Shimano's advice may be more practical in real-world application as there can be a significant exposure of wires splashed with mud and water if the battery is not installed.



We believe the best approach is to gently clean it vertically with a hose and sponge, then let it dry completely before opening it up.



Tips and Tricks



ChamRider suggests that if there is dirt or grime on the battery terminals (not the battery itself), you can clean them with a soft, dry brush or cotton swab.



Finally, reach out to the dealer who specializes in your motor and check the status of your battery. They will be able to inform you about the battery's condition and whether you're in a long-term storage situation or if there is any equipment damage.

Four

Electric bicycle questions you're afraid to ask:




1. Why does the charger get hot?



Converting the UK's 240V voltage to 36V for ChamRider results in some energy loss in the form of heat, typically around 10%, according to ChamRider. Charging automatically shuts off when the capacity is reached, so there is no overcharging or increased load.



2. Can battery manufacturers open the casing and replace a faulty battery like Tesla does?



No, it is not possible because the batteries need to be perfectly matched to avoid overcharging or over-discharging. It is technically feasible but a complex process, which would cost more money – acceptable for a £100,000 car but not for a £5,000 electric bicycle. As a point of interest, the Bosch PowerTube 625Wh battery has 50 individual cells inside.



3. How many cycles can the battery endure?



It depends on how you treat it. ChamRider states it can be charged up to 1,000 times, equivalent to normal usage for 7-10 years before the battery capacity starts to decline. Obviously, you would replace the bike before that, so theoretically, it can extend the lifespan of the bike. ChamRider guarantees that after 1,000 charging cycles, the battery will retain at least 60% of its original capacity.



ChanRider's warranty guarantees that within the warranty period (24 months after purchase, or 36 months from the date of battery purchase), the 400Wh, 500Wh, and 625Wh batteries will have at least 60% of their original energy capacity, and the 300Wh battery will have at least 70% of its original energy capacity. This is based on proper maintenance or 500 full charging cycles, whichever comes first. The brand states that with proper care, the lifespan can be much longer, as supported by lab tests and customer feedback.



4. Where do the batteries go when they are depleted?



Battery dealers, whether for bicycle batteries, phone batteries, or car batteries, have a responsibility to recycle the batteries. Different battery recycling programs exist throughout Europe, and in the UK, Valpak operates the largest compliance scheme. Interestingly, the UK tends to export its battery waste rather than recycling it domestically, primarily to France, Germany, and Poland.

How to test an electric bicycle battery is an essential part of maintaining its good operational condition and ensuring optimal performance. Testing an electric bicycle battery is a crucial step in ensuring the longevity of the electric bicycle. However, understanding how to properly test an electric bicycle battery can be confusing.



The first step in testing an electric bicycle battery is to connect the charger to the battery. When connecting the charger to the battery, it is important to ensure that all connections are secure and free of dust or debris. Once connected, you can plug the charger into an outlet and wait for it to complete the charging process.



You will need to power on the electric bicycle and allow the battery to fully charge. By connecting the bicycle to the charger or using the power button on the bicycle itself, you can begin charging it. Once the electric bicycle is fully charged, you can use a multimeter or voltmeter to test the battery's voltage.



To use a multimeter or voltmeter, set the device to measure voltage and place the red probe on the positive terminal of the battery and the black probe on the negative terminal. The reading on the multimeter or voltmeter should be between 36-42 volts, indicating that your electric bicycle battery is functioning properly.



Tools needed for testing an electric bicycle battery:



1. Multimeter:

A multimeter is a device used to measure voltage, current, and resistance in an electrical circuit. It can calculate the amount of charge the battery can hold and the efficiency of transferring that charge to the motor.



2. Load tester:

A load tester is a device used to measure how much power the battery can provide over time. It is important to ensure that the battery can provide enough power for long rides, especially if you plan on taking long trips.



3. Amp-hour meter:

An amp-hour meter measures the energy stored in the battery and the time it takes to discharge. It helps in understanding the estimated battery capacity when you are out on a ride.



Parameters to test when testing an electric bicycle battery:



When testing an electric bicycle battery, you need to consider three main parameters:



1. Voltage:

Voltage is the measure of the battery's electrical potential. It is measured in volts (V). Generally, batteries with higher voltage will provide more power and range.



2. Capacity:

Capacity is the total amount of energy the battery can store. It is measured in amp-hours (Ah). Higher capacity means the bike can be ridden for a longer time before needing a recharge.



3. Internal resistance:

Internal resistance measures the battery's ability to deliver current to the motor. Higher internal resistance can result in reduced power and range.



Testing the voltage of an electric bicycle battery:



The first step in testing an electric bicycle battery is to check its voltage. You will need a multimeter and the bike charger to perform this. Connect the multimeter to the positive and negative terminals of the battery and turn on the charger. The multimeter should read the battery's voltage (in volts). The voltage should be within the recommended range by the electric bicycle manufacturer.



Testing the capacity of an electric bicycle battery:



After testing the voltage, you can proceed to test the battery's capacity. You will need an amp-hour meter and a load tester for this. Connect the amp-hour meter to the battery and turn on the load tester. The amp-hour meter should measure how much energy the battery can store (in amp-hours). The capacity should be within the recommended range by the electric bicycle manufacturer.





Testing the internal resistance of an electric bicycle battery:



You can test the battery's internal resistance. For this, you will need a multimeter and a load tester. Connect the multimeter to the positive and negative terminals of the battery. Turn on the load tester and read the value from the multimeter. The internal resistance should be within the recommended range by the electric bicycle manufacturer.

Introduction


An electric bicycle consists of two essential components: the motor and the battery. Both are crucial, and it is important to choose the right battery for your DIY customization. In this article, I will do my best to explain e-bike batteries in a simplified manner.



There are many factors to consider before purchasing a battery, and it's important not to make hasty decisions, as even lower-spec batteries can be costly.



I could write pages upon pages about modern batteries and their working principles, but I want to keep this article as simple as possible, focusing on selecting the right battery for your specific build.



Choosing the Right Battery


Several variables need to be considered before buying a battery. I will list them below, and each one requires careful consideration:



For the purpose of this article, I will focus on the most popular voltages currently used:



Most road-legal e-bike kits use a 36V battery, while more powerful motors may require a 48V or even a 52V battery. When using high-performance electric bikes, the voltage can reach up to 72V or even higher.



For example, if you purchase a 250W mid-drive motor, you would need a 36V battery. If you opt for a 1000W BBSHD motor, you would need a 48V battery.



Battery Placement


You need to decide where you want to mount the battery on your bicycle. The most popular location is the downtube in a diagonal position because it not only looks neat but also keeps the additional weight of the battery relatively centered and low, improving stability.



The Cube Target Pro mountain bike is powered by a Bafang BBS02 750W electric motor kit and a 52V battery.



Unfortunately, this may not apply to all bicycles and depends on the frame size and geometry. For many full-suspension mountain bikes, it can be challenging to mount the battery on the frame due to the rear suspension. Fortunately, there are now more compact battery packs available, but these packs have smaller outputs, typically around 36V 10.4Ah. Alternatively, you can mount the battery on the underside of the frame, but this may make it more susceptible to damage, and you need to check the clearance with the front tire when the suspension is fully compressed.



Frame-integrated batteries are also popular options for step-through frame bicycles or small frame bicycles. These types of batteries typically come with specific "double-layer" frames, which inevitably add weight to the rear of the bicycle.





Battery Range


Another important variable to consider is the Ah or "ampere-hour" rating of the battery. A battery with a capacity of 1 ampere-hour should be able to continuously provide a current of 1 ampere to the load for exactly 1 hour, or 2 amperes for 1/2 hour, or 1/3 ampere for 3 hours, and so on, before being fully discharged.

The capacity of a medium-sized battery is typically around 13Ah. When multiplied by the voltage, such as 36V x 13Ah = 468Wh, it gives the capacity in "watt-hours" (Wh). Watt-hours is a unit of electrical energy, equivalent to the power consumption of one watt over one hour. Therefore, a 36V 13Ah battery can effectively sustain 468 watt-hours.



How does this translate into measurable range? Assuming you are conservative with the power usage, you would spend approximately 20 watt-hours per mile of travel, giving you a range of 23.4 miles. This is based on the assumption of maintaining power consumption at that exact level throughout the duration.

Of course, in the real world, this scenario is unlikely as there are times when you may not need electric assistance at all, while other times you may heavily rely on it. For example, if you live in an area with long and steep hills, your power consumption per mile may exceed 20 watt-hours. If you reside in a fairly flat area, your consumption may be lower.



If you desire to achieve longer mileage, a 36V 17.5Ah battery would allow you to travel 31.5 miles at a constant power consumption of 20 watt-hours per mile. However, in real-world scenarios, I have reported ranges of 50-60 miles with such capacity batteries.



If you can only purchase a smaller battery, there are many ways to increase the battery range of an electric bike without spending any extra money.



Most electric bike batteries use standard 18650 lithium-ion cells produced by well-known manufacturers such as LG, Samsung, Panasonic, and Sanyo. In my opinion, opting for branded batteries is always wise as they tend to have longer lifespans and greater reliability compared to unbranded generic Chinese batteries. That being said, I have provided many battery packs using Chinese batteries without any issues. It all comes down to the price. Personally, I would spend a little more to purchase branded batteries as buying cheaper batteries might be a false economy.


Battery Maintenance


Lithium batteries require careful handling. There are restrictions on their transportation, and it's not without good reason. The problem is that if they catch fire, they burn at very high temperatures and can cause severe burns or even death. Do not store them in areas exposed to extreme heat.



These batteries do not like extreme temperatures at either end. Their performance decreases once the temperature drops below zero, and most manufacturers set the minimum operating temperature at -20 degrees Celsius and the maximum at 45 degrees Celsius.



Charging


When the battery is new, it is generally recommended to run it through at least three full charge and discharge cycles to ensure the battery is fully balanced, although I have ample evidence to suggest that discharging the battery to at least 50% during normal use is sufficient for this period.



There is some evidence to suggest that always fully charging the battery can shorten its lifespan, and most of the time, charging it to 80% and only fully charging the battery once is more beneficial for long-term battery health over weeks.



This is a somewhat controversial topic, as a highly respected lithium battery expert told me that this is not the case. In fact, I had a customer who followed the above practice, and several months later, the maximum charging voltage dropped significantly, and the battery needed to be rebalanced.



If the battery is not used for several months, it is also essential to ensure that the battery has at least 80% charge. If the battery is left discharged for several months without use, the voltage in the battery may drop below the design minimum and could result in permanent damage. Additionally, it is not recommended to store the battery at its maximum capacity for more than a few days, as this is also detrimental to the long-term health of the battery.



All these battery packs use a Battery Management System (BMS), which is the brain of the battery. It is a small electronic circuit that prevents overcharging and over-discharging and regulates the overall amplifier output. A fully charged 36V battery has a voltage of approximately 42.2V, and the BMS typically shuts off the battery at around 29V. A fully charged 48V battery has a voltage of 54.4V and usually shuts off around 39V. This is crucial because over-discharging can permanently damage the battery's chemical composition.




Continuous Current


This depends on several factors but will be influenced by the battery quality, voltage, Ah rating, and BMS. Most 36V 13Ah batteries have a continuous discharge rate between 15A-20A but may be able to provide higher output momentarily. This also depends on the type of motor controller being used. For example, the controller on a 1000W Bafang BBSHD can handle a continuous current of 30 amps.



Other Factors to Consider


A good mid-drive motor, such as Bafang or Tongsheng, utilizes the bike's gear ratio to transfer the power generated by the motor to the rear wheel. This results in higher efficiency and less battery energy consumption. On the other hand, large direct-drive hub motors cannot spin as fast, so they will consume more watt-hours per mile.



The weight of the rider also plays a significant role. A person weighing 100 kg riding a 250W electric bike at full power will consume more energy compared to a person weighing 75 kg.



Conclusion


If you only plan on using the bike for short trips of up to 20-30 miles, then a 36V 13Ah battery should be sufficient. The same applies to a 48V motor. However, if you plan on traveling or spending long periods in the saddle, it would be worthwhile to purchase a battery with a capacity of at least 36V 17.5Ah or even 20Ah.

The first step in converting a regular bicycle into an electric bicycle is to install the battery. The installation process is relatively simple, but it is important to thoroughly understand the process before deciding where to place the battery.






How to Install an Electric Bicycle Battery
