I would like to get everyone's opinion on how they handle their ebike batteries during winter. I mean, one of the biggest challenges during winter is that ebike batteries can drain faster because of the cold. There is also this fear that the cells can even get damaged because of the freezing conditions.

So, what is the best way to store my ebike battery and ensure it stays in good condition? Do I need to charge it at intervals during winter? What is the level that I should always keep it at?
 
Winter in my place isn't terrible, it is comparatively warmer. But I always I store the battery indoors in a cool, dry place and keep it partially charged, around 40 to 60 percent. I check the charge every few weeks and also keep it running for a while so that battery remains healthy.
 
Cold weather isn't good for most e-bike's batteries because it incapacitates and reduces their effectiveness and efficiency. I remove my e-bike's battery from it whenever I'm done riding and store it in a well-ventilated indoor area. It helps to keep our battery warn and in good shape.
 
Where I live, we get some really cold and damp winters, and because of that, I am always worried about ensuring that my battery for my e-bike is stored in the best way possible to protect it.

Keeping your e-bike battery indoors and in a room or area that is around 10 - 20 degrees centigrade in temperature is always better and helps to keep your battery protected.

Hello. Store at 40-60% charge, indoors at room temperature (50-68°F), not in a garage or shed. Check every 4-6 weeks and top up if it's dropped. Never charge it while cold, let it warm up first, since charging a cold battery can permanently damage the cells. If riding in winter, expect reduced range (normal) and avoid letting it fully discharge in the cold.
