Going 28mph damage battery?

I went flat out today on my de restricted bosch. I took out the battery and it was pretty warm is it safe.

as far as I know the battery cuts out if it gets too hot as a safety precaution.

I think I read about it happening to people on here in really hot countries.


You should always let the battery cool down before charging btw

Heat is a known battery life reducer of lithium ion batteries.

Hi speed doesn't make you battery hot. High current for long periods, makes your battery hot. So using your motor above the limiter won't damage your battery. Using the bike in high Power Modes to achieve speeds above the limiter, for sustained periods, will. That's because the battery continues to have high current drawn from it, for long periods.

But if you run your bike in a lower power mode, and can still achieve speeds above the limiter. The battery won't heat up, and it will be fine.
