1. To extend the lifespan of lithium-ion batteries, they should be charged and discharged frequently. Develop the habit of charging electric vehicles when the battery level reaches 80% or higher; never wait until the battery is completely depleted before charging. Furthermore, lithium-ion batteries should never be stored for extended periods.
2. When charging the battery of an electric vehicle, the ignition switch must be turned off, and the battery must not be inverted. It should be fully charged in one go, and multiple charging attempts are not recommended, as this will affect the battery's lifespan.
3. Electrical appliances should not be stored in a discharged state. Even when the battery is not in use, it should be fully charged once a month.
4. Lithium-ion batteries require a matching charger when charging. Because the raw materials and manufacturing processes of lithium-ion batteries are different, the technical requirements for chargers are also different. Therefore, only by using a dedicated charger can the lifespan of lithium-ion batteries be extended and safety hazards be prevented.
5. When a lithium-ion battery is depleted, turn off the power and ride. Do not use the recovery voltage to prevent severe discharge and extend battery life. The lifespan of an electric vehicle battery is greatly affected by its depth of discharge; lead-acid batteries are particularly susceptible to damage from excessive discharge. Leaving a discharged battery for 3-7 days may cause permanent damage. Therefore, batteries should be charged as soon as possible after use. For batteries that are not used for extended periods, charge them every 10-15 days to compensate for the self-discharge loss during storage.
When using an electric vehicle charger, pay attention to heat dissipation, especially in summer; avoid placing it in high-temperature areas. Generally, charging time is around 7-8 hours, depending on the battery's condition. Currently, the best-selling high-standard chargers on the market have four outstanding features: intelligent charging, safety and reliability, battery repair, and stable and efficient operation. These high-standard chargers offer faster charging speeds than chargers from other brands.
Generally speaking, electric vehicle chargers are relatively delicate electronic devices, so care should be taken to prevent vibration during use. It's best not to carry them in the vehicle. If you must carry them, make sure to pack them securely with shock-absorbing material.
6. When charging the lithium-ion battery of an electric vehicle, continue to float charge for 1-2 hours after the charging indicator shows a full charge. Do not stop charging immediately when the indicator shows a full charge. I. Use a reputable brand charger. Currently, the electric vehicle market is flooded with inferior chargers. Some no-name electric vehicles are equipped with these chargers to reduce costs and increase profits. Many consumers do not pay attention to the quality of the charger and buy these cheap ones, which generally cost only a few dollars. The electronic components of these chargers are mostly made of inferior materials and are easily damaged. A common problem is that the indicator light does not turn on after the battery is fully charged, and the charging current cannot be adjusted according to the battery current, leading to overcharging of many batteries. Repeated overcharging will damage the battery. If your electric vehicle charger is not working properly, it is recommended to replace it with a high-quality brand charger at a professional electric vehicle after-sales service shop to ensure charging quality and extend battery life.
