6 Simple Tips to Keep Your E-Trike Battery Healthy

Your electric tricycle is your ticket to freedom, fun, and easy rides. To keep it running smoothly, the battery needs a little TLC.
Don’t worry, battery care doesn’t have to be complicated. These simple habits can help your battery last longer, perform better, and keep your Emojo electric trike ready whenever you are.
Whether you own the Emojo Caddy Pro, electric fat tire tricycle, or any of our other models, here are six easy ways to take care of your battery. These are especially helpful for riders who may be new to electric bikes.
1. Charge It Regularly
Even if you’re not riding every day, it’s important to keep your battery charged. Don’t wait until it hits zero percent.
Why it matters: Letting your battery fully drain too often can shorten its life. Try to recharge when it drops to around 30 to 50 percent.
Quick Tip: If you’re not riding for a week or more, give it a quick top up every couple of weeks just to keep things healthy.
2. Keep It Cool (But Not Cold)
Batteries don’t like extreme heat or freezing temperatures. That means no storing your e trike in a hot garage or leaving it out in the snow.
Why it matters: Excessive heat can permanently damage battery cells, and extreme cold can reduce performance.
Quick Tip: Store your battery indoors when not in use, somewhere dry and around room temperature.
3. Store It the Right Way
Taking a seasonal break from riding? Be sure to store your battery properly.
How to store it: Charge to about 50 percent Keep it in a cool, dry place Avoid direct sunlight
Why it matters: Batteries slowly lose power even when not in use. A half charge is ideal for longer storage. It helps prevent deep discharge while avoiding strain from a full charge.
4. Always Use the Right Charger
Your Emojo bike comes with a specific charger and that’s the one you should always use.
Why it matters: Using the wrong charger can damage the battery or reduce its lifespan.
Quick Tip: If you misplace your charger, contact Emojo support for a replacement instead of buying a generic one.
5. Clean the Battery Connections
Just like cleaning your glasses helps you see better, keeping your battery connections clean helps your three wheel electric bike run better.
How to do it: Wipe the battery terminals with a dry cloth Use a little bit of grease on the connections if needed
Why it matters: Dirt, dust, or moisture can interfere with your bike’s performance.
6. Unplug When Fully Charged
Once your battery is full, it’s time to unplug it.
Why it matters: Overcharging won’t cause immediate damage, but over time it can reduce how long your battery lasts.
Quick Tip: Try charging during the day when you can keep an eye on it. Avoid overnight charging.
Bonus: Be Gentle
This one’s simple. Don’t drop your battery or treat it roughly. Like any important part of your bike, it needs careful handling.
And if you ever notice a big drop in performance, it might be time to “balance” the battery. That just means letting it run down to low power and then giving it a full charge. Do this once in a while to help the cells stay in sync.
