It is impossible to predict its duration with accuracy, since it depends above all on the type of use and stress to which it is
subjected.
To promote the longevity of the battery, it is advisable to store it in a dry environment and protected from direct exposure to
sunlight and preferably at an internal temperature of 15-25 ° C, but never below 0 ° C or above + 45 ° C, ideally recharge at
room temperature and avoid overcharging or its complete discharge during use and recharging the battery at regular intervals
even if you do not use the pedal-assisted bicycle for an extended period (at least once every 3/4 weeks).
Cold, in general, decreases battery performance. If used during the winter, the battery should be charged and stored at room
temperature and inserted in the electrically power assisted cycle only shortly before it is used.
