Will temperature affect my battery?

Your Swytch kit will arrive with battery instructions to help you take good care of it. You will be fine to use your Swytch bike on the occasional Winter day but we recommend not to frequently ride it in below -5 degrees C.

Our Quality Control Testing did include performance tests at low temperatures. However, all lithium-ion batteries are impacted by temperature. You may have experienced this phenomenon if you've left a mobile phone or laptop in a car at night and found it totally drained the next morning. This is due to a chemical reaction caused by the cold resulting in faster discharge and/or a corresponding loss of battery life.

Extremities in weather conditions may affect the Power Pack. The kit should not be charged if it is below 0 degrees C and we recommend you do not store the Power Pack below -10 degrees C.

If you are not using your Swytch kit for an extended period of time, we also recommend that you aim to keep the battery above 70% charge. This is in order to minimise the time it is at a low level of charge, which can damage the battery capacity. We would recommend checking the battery level once in three weeks.
