1. When using a lithium-ion electric bicycle for the first time, the battery must be fully charged. Charging can be stopped once the charger displays a green light, and the charging time should generally be controlled within 8-10 hours.
2. Lithium-ion battery packs in electric vehicles also need to be charged with a compatible charger; otherwise, unstable voltage may occur, leading to battery damage, and in severe cases, fire or even explosion.
3. Avoid prolonged or deep charging, as this may lead to overcharging. Lithium-ion batteries and chargers automatically stop charging once the battery is fully charged; there is no continuous trickle charging for 10+ hours as claimed by nickel-cadmium chargers. In other words, leaving your lithium-ion battery on the charger after it's fully charged is pointless.
4. Since lithium-ion batteries are memory-free, it is recommended that customers regularly charge or recharge the lithium-ion battery pack after each or daily ride. This will significantly extend the battery pack's lifespan.
5. If the driving range of an electric vehicle suddenly drops by more than ten kilometers in a short period of time, it is very likely that at least one battery in the lithium-ion battery pack has a short circuit, such as a broken cell, softened plates, or shedding of active material from the plates. In this case, you should take it to an electric vehicle dealership for inspection, repair, or replacement as soon as possible. This can extend the battery pack's lifespan and save costs to the greatest extent.
6. The charging time should be accurately determined according to the actual situation, taking into account the usual usage frequency and mileage. At the same time, attention should be paid to the capacity specifications provided by the lithium-ion battery manufacturer, as well as the performance of the matching charger, the charging current, and other parameters to determine the charging frequency.
