If you are interested in bicycle batteries and charging them, you will often stumble upon the word "charging cycles". But what is that actually? Find out here what charging cycles are and see a few examples that make it easy to understand.
A charging cycle takes place when the battery power is fully used.
If you run your battery completely empty and you charge it to 100%? Then you have a charging cycle.
For example, if you use a quarter of your Van Raam battery and then charge it to 100% and the next day you use 75% of the battery and then recharge it to 100%. This is then a charge cycle, since a total of 25%+75%=100% of power has been used.
