Storage Parking

[Eband]

I'm crossposting this to hopefully elicit reasonable responses:

Our two Como's probly will see infrequent winter use until heavy snow season and then may sit for a few months or at least 6- 8 weeks at a time.

Any actual factual guidance whether to leave FULLY or PARTIALLY charged while they hibernate ?

thanx

All the credible sources I've seen say to store at partial charge. Question is, what partial charge range? Some credible sources give 20-80%, others 30-80%. My wife's ebike sits for weeks at a time, and I go by the latter.

Especially important to avoid deep discharge at low ambient temperatures.

Perhaps our resident ebike battery expert, @Ravi Kempaiah of Zen Electric Bikes, will chime in. He's as evidence-based as they come in this matter.
