Electric vehicle battery|Common sense you must know before buying electric vehicle

The battery is the "heart" of an electric vehicle, which directly determines the endurance mileage and power performance, and its price accounts for the highest proportion of the entire vehicle. But most people often don't understand how the battery should be used correctly! So let's talk about this topic.

1. Make sure you charge the battery when remain power is under 50%

To ensure the durability of the battery, it is usually most appropriate to charge the battery with about 20%-30% remaining power. But it is not necessary to use the power to 20%-30% before charging, so don’t be so tangled. If the remaining power is less than 50% during our daily use, it can be reasonably charged as needed.

2. Do not charge immediately after driving, place it at least 10 minutes

The temperature of the battery will gradually increase during driving, charging immediately after driving will not only damage the battery, but may even cause spontaneous combustion in severe cases. In general, wait at least about 10 minutes after driving, wait for the battery to cool down then recharge it. The ambient temperature is higher so the placing time of the battery should be longer.  

3. Charge the batteries regularly when they are not used for a long time

In order to save electricity, some families will not charge the battery even the battery is not used and placed for a long time. In general, the battery will begin to discharge after leaving the factory, and if it is not used for one month or two, the power will be discharged. If it goes on like this, it will reduce the battery performance and reduce the battery life, so even if it is not used, the battery should be charged every two weeks or one month.

4. Do not use fast charging frequently

Many car owners always forget to charge the car after using it, so they have to use a fast charge when they need it urgently. Although one time fast charge has little effect, but if you use fast charging frequently , it will cause the battery to have a bad memory, making it impossible to be fully charged in the future, which will affect discharge performance and service life.

5. Don't charge until you run out of power

There are many careless users who are unwilling to charge the battery during use, and wait until there is no electricity at all before charging. This behavior will cause the battery to wear out too quickly and shorten the battery life.

6. Reduce rapid acceleration and rapid braking during driving

Users who like to accelerate and brake hard tend to have short battery life, while those who drive slowly and do not brake frequently will have relatively longer battery life. Users must pay attention to this during driving.

7. Maintenance the battery no matter what brand it is

Some users say that famous brand batteries do not need maintenance. In fact, no matter what brand of electric vehicle battery you buy, you must pay attention to maintenance. If it is not maintained well, no matter how good the quality is, it cannot stand the toss and turns of wind and rain.
