7. What is the life span of a bike battery?
Typically, a bike battery can last for 2 to 3 years which totally depends on the maintenance and care.
Bike batteries of any type will lose their capacity over time even if they are not in use.
Various factors affect the life span of the battery such as:
- Temperature
- Charging
- Maintenance
- Keeping the battery cool
- Not to let the battery die completely before charging.
A slight problem in any of these factors can ruin the battery’s longevity.
8. What are the capacities available in bike batteries?
The most used capacities for bike batteries are 24V,36V and 48V If the batteries are in good condition, they are higher in voltages.

10. How can you know if your bike battery is dead?
There can be several symptoms that may detect that your battery is dead or cannot be used.
Some of the major symptoms might include:
- Discoloration of the battery due to the stains from the bike. If a change of colors is seen in a battery depicts it is in the last stages and should be replaced.
- Swollen batteries or cracks indicate that chemical gas is built up in the battery due to corrosion on the inside. It may also happen due to overcharging or heating up.
- If a battery does not hold a charge even after immediate charging, this battery is not only dead but also a bad battery.
- If your bike does not start at all, that means it is surviving on a dead battery. However, there can be various other problems that lead to this and should be properly examined to find the right reason.
- A symptom of a battery that is about to die is the fading in the headlights of the bike or horn. These indicate that the battery is draining and not providing power as it should.
- Leaking of the battery acid is also an indication that extreme oxidation is happening inside the battery that may cause an explosion.
11. What type of charger is used to charge a bike battery?
Find out the battery type before selecting a charger for it. Whatever charger you may use for your battery the major consideration should be the matching of voltage.
You can also charge your bike battery with a regular phone charger, but the voltage required by the battery should be checked.
If the battery is of 36 volts, the charger should be of a 54.6 volts battery too otherwise it will ruin the battery’s health and life span.
12. What type of battery is the best to be used in a bike?
The most preferred battery capacity for a bike battery is 24V ,36V or 48V li ion battery. It solely depends on the engine of the battery.
However, lithium-ion batteries carry out the best working in bikes.
They are lighter in weight and ideal for harsh ridings on and off, have a lower discharge rate which makes them last longer, and perform better in cold and hot weather.
Lithium batteries offer the best battery life and less to no maintenance.
