078 - Bosch explains what’s going on with e-bike battery safety

If you have or are considering buying an e-bike of any kind, chances are you're wondering about battery safety and how to maximize performance.

With the recent Lithium Ion battery fires in New York creating political will to ban unlisted, non-certified batteries in e-bikes, electric scooters, and other e-mobility devices, I wanted to talk to an expert on e-bike battery safety.

My guest today is Kunal Kapoor, Sr Mgr of quality and compliance for Bosch. As one of the leading brands of e-bike drive systems, they know a thing or two about battery design, safety, and performance, so I picked his brain on all the things.

If you're wondering how to best charge, store, and maximize the life of your e-bike's battery, this short episode is packed full of useful info and great information.
