My electric bicycle has three 12v sealed lead acid batteries powering its 200w motor. The bike weighs a ton for this reason but I don't need to pedal, I just use the throttle and I can go pretty fast, even uphill. Apparently it can do 15 mph without pedalling.
The batteries apparently last 100-200 recharge cycles before needing replacement.
I am keen to make each battery set last as long as possible.
Should I wait till the charge is almost empty before recharging, or fully recharge regularly after even the shortest outing, or does it not matter?
