1. Charge frequently to prevent deep discharge. When riding an electric vehicle, get into the habit of charging it on the same day you use it. No matter how far you ride each day, it is best to fully charge the battery before charging it. Do not wait until it is completely depleted before charging.
2. When charging lithium-ion batteries in the vehicle, the ignition switch should be turned off. Do not charge the battery upside down, and try to charge it fully in one go. If you smell any unusual odor or the battery temperature becomes too high during charging, stop charging immediately and send it to the Luqing Technical Department for inspection. When removing the battery for charging, do not touch the two ends of the electrodes with wet hands or metal objects such as keys to avoid burns.
3. Charge it every day. Even if you don't need a long driving range and can use it for 2 to 3 days on a single charge, it is still recommended that you charge it every day. This will keep the electric vehicle's lithium-ion battery in a shallow cycle state and extend the battery's lifespan.
4. Ensure proper ventilation for the lithium-ion battery charger during charging. Otherwise, it will not only affect the charger's lifespan but may also cause thermal drift, affecting the charging status. Both of these can damage the battery. Therefore, protecting the charger is crucial.
5. Chargers from different manufacturers generally have specific requirements; do not change chargers arbitrarily without certainty. If a long driving range is required and multiple chargers are necessary for charging in different locations, use a supplementary charger for daytime top-ups and the original charger for nighttime use. Removing the speed limiter from the controller, while increasing the vehicle's speed to some extent, will reduce vehicle safety and shorten the lifespan of the lithium-ion battery.
6. Timely charging and discharging. Timely charging can remove minor sulfation. If not charged in time, these sulfide crystals will accumulate and gradually form large crystals. Ordinary chargers are ineffective against these large crystals, which will gradually lead to a decrease in battery capacity and shorten battery life. Periodically performing a deep discharge of lithium-ion batteries can also help "activate" the battery and slightly improve its capacity.
7. The optimal ambient temperature for charging lithium-ion batteries in electric vehicles is 25℃. Most chargers currently lack automatic temperature control systems, so they are designed for an ambient temperature of 25℃. Therefore, charging at 25℃ is preferable.
