(Note: while we do often ship custom batteries, most of our clients are right here in the ATL area. You don't have to be here for this info to be useful to you, though!)

🔋 Why Battery Replacement Matters

Your e-bike battery is quite literally the most important part of your ride, being the thing that fuels your e-bike! If your battery isn't functioning well, it wreaks havoc in your whole ride. Over time, batteries lose capacity, reducing your range, power, and speed. 

⚠️ Signs You Need to Replace Your E-Bike Battery

🚲 Reduced Range – Your bike isn't going as far as usual on a charge.

⏳ Longer-than-Expected Charging Time  – Takes hours to reach full charge, or perhaps longer than it used to take

🔥 Overheating Battery – Your battery is getting unusually hot, either when you're charging it or out for a ride.

🔋 Battery Not Holding a Charge – You know how long your battery should last, but it's just not happening + it drops to 0% too quickly. 

🛑 Visible Damage – If your battery is visibly damaged (swollen, cracked, or even leaking), it's important to get this resolved both for performance AND for safety!

🔧 Choosing the Right Replacement Battery

Picking the right battery can extend your ride range and improve performance. Here’s how to choose:

  • 🔋 Voltage: 36V, 48V, 52V, or 72V – Higher voltage means more power and speed.
  • 🔋 Capacity (Ah): Affects how far you can ride on a single charge.
  • 🔋 Battery Chemistry: Lithium-ion is best for e-bikes due to its long lifespan and efficiency.
