How long should I charge the batteries for?

Do not charge the batteries for more than 24 hours at a charging cycle. Keep your Go-Chair batteries fully charged and avoid deeply discharging them. For maximum range or distance per charge, visit

How to increase battery charging cycles?

In order to increase battery charging cycles, manufacturers give several guidelines depending on our usage patterns: Charge the battery to 100%: This maximizes the total capacity of the battery and reduces the number of charge/discharge cycles. Suitable for devices that are used only a few times a month or year.

How do charging cycles affect a battery's long-term performance?

However, to get the most out of these technologies, it is crucial to understand the lifespan of batteries and how charging cycles affect their long-term performance. The useful life of a battery is determined by charging cycles, which occur when the battery is charged from 0 to 100% and then fully discharged.

What is a good charge rate for a battery?

Charge the battery to 100%: This maximizes the total capacity of the battery and reduces the number of charge/discharge cycles. Suitable for devices that are used only a few times a month or year. Charge the battery to 80%: This significantly prolongs the number of charging cycles.

How long does a Bess battery last?

In the case of modern batteries, both the LFP and the NMC, used in BESS energy storage systems, can last between 4000 and 6000 charge cycles, depending on several factors such as temperature, depth of discharge and charging current.

What does depth of discharge mean on a battery?

Depth of discharge (DOD) refers to how much energy has been extracted from a battery compared to its total capacity. Lithium or LFP batteries have a longer life as long as they are kept in a lower DOD range, usually between 20% and 80%. Discharging the battery below 20% or charging it above 80% frequently can significantly shorten its lifespan.
