1. Properly storing your Nakamura e-bike battery
Nakamura states that storage plays a crucial role: a battery stored in a dry environment, free from humidity and at a stable temperature (ideally between 15 and 20°C) will deliver better performance and enjoy a longer lifespan than a battery exposed to unfavorable conditions.
Extreme temperatures can damage battery cells and reduce capacity. In general, avoid exposing your battery to very high or very low temperatures.

2. Charging: a key factor in maintaining your Nakamura battery
To maximize your battery’s lifespan, charge it regularly after each use, even if it is not fully discharged. It is recommended to use the charger supplied by the manufacturer at purchase (or a compatible charger if a replacement is needed).
Make sure to charge the battery in a well-ventilated area, away from direct heat and moisture.
If your Nakamura bike is not used for an extended period, it is important to charge the battery regularly (about once a month). Ideally, keeping the charge level between 20% and 80% helps optimize battery longevity.
Also avoid leaving the battery plugged in for long periods, as this may cause overcharging and damage the battery.
3. Regularly clean the battery contacts
This advice applies to all e-bike batteries: contacts can accumulate dirt, dust and moisture, which may compromise their efficiency. To ensure optimal connection between the battery and the charger, as well as between the battery and the bike, regularly clean the contacts with a clean, dry cloth.
Make sure the connectors are completely dry before reconnecting the battery or charging it.
4. Follow Nakamura manufacturer recommendations
Each battery model may have specific maintenance and usage requirements. Consult the user manual provided by the manufacturer of your Nakamura electric bike for specific battery care instructions.
You can also consult the battery manual by searching for your bike model on the Intersport website. Follow manufacturer recommendations for charging, storage and use to ensure durability and optimal performance.
