Electric vehicle batteries are one of the core components of electric vehicles, and their lifespan and performance directly affect the user experience of electric vehicles. Therefore, understanding how to use and maintain electric vehicle batteries correctly is very important. This article will provide you with some strategies to extend the lifespan of electric vehicle batteries.
1. Correct charging is the key to extending battery life. Firstly, use the original charger or a charger that matches the battery for charging. Secondly, it is necessary to avoid overcharging and over discharging. Generally speaking, when the battery level is below 20%, it needs to be charged. After the battery is fully charged, the charger should be unplugged in a timely manner.
2. Avoid high and low temperature environments. The optimal operating temperature for electric vehicle batteries is around 25 ℃, as high or low temperatures can have an impact on battery life. Therefore, during high temperatures in summer, electric vehicles should be avoided from being parked in the sunlight for a long time, while during low temperatures in winter, electric vehicles should be parked indoors as much as possible.
3. Regular deep discharge: Regular deep discharge can help activate the chemicals inside the battery, thereby extending its lifespan. Generally speaking, a deep discharge is sufficient every three months or so.
4. Avoid frequent fast charging. Frequent fast charging can have an impact on the battery life. Therefore, in daily use, try to use slow charging methods for charging.
5. Regularly check the battery. Regularly checking the battery can promptly detect battery problems and avoid battery failures. Generally speaking, a battery check should be conducted every six months or so.
