Concept of the battery temperature impact calculator

The Battery Temperature Impact Calculator helps e-bike riders understand how varying temperatures affect their battery’s performance. E-bike batteries are sensitive to temperature changes, and this calculator estimates the adjusted battery capacity based on current environmental conditions. Whether you’re riding in extreme heat or cold, this tool helps you predict how much battery power you’ll actually have available.

How it works:

• Input variables:
  1. Battery capacity (Wh): The total energy storage of your e-bike’s battery.
  2. Temperature (°C): The current ambient temperature during your ride.
  3. Temperature coefficient (%/°C): A factor that determines how much your battery capacity changes with temperature. Typically, batteries lose capacity at low temperatures and may operate more efficiently within moderate temperature ranges.
• Calculation process: The tool adjusts the battery’s capacity based on the deviation of the current temperature from the optimal 25°C. It uses the temperature coefficient to apply a percentage increase or decrease to the battery’s capacity, giving an adjusted value in watt-hours (Wh).

Benefits:

• Planning efficiency: Riders can prepare for rides more effectively by knowing how much battery they’ll lose or gain due to temperature changes. It helps plan longer trips by anticipating power loss in extreme temperatures.
• Optimize performance: Knowing how much your battery is affected by temperature can help you adjust your riding behavior (like speed or throttle usage) to maximize your battery life.
• Prolonged battery lifespan: Understanding the impact of temperature can guide you in storing and charging your battery in more favorable conditions, ultimately prolonging its lifespan.
