I often hear people complain that the battery quality is not good, and some people complain that the battery dealer is wrong, but sometimes the quality of the battery itself is not a problem, but because our users use and maintain the battery improperly, the battery performance is damaged. This article summarizes ten tips for protecting batteries and chargers for everyone to understand and learn.

1. Do not use inferior chargers. Inferior chargers have unstable voltage and current and poor heat dissipation. Frequent use will not only damage the battery, but may also cause a fire.

2. Do not change the charger at will. The charger parameters of different electric vehicles are basically different. If you don't know the charger, please do not change the charger or use someone else's charger.

3. It is best not to let the charger collide for a long time. Generally, the charger will break if it is seldom used, and most of it is bumpy during riding, so the charger is not resistant to strong vibration, so the charger should not be placed in the trunk or basket of the electric bicycle. The charger can be packed with foam to prevent vibration and bumps.

4. Develop the habit of charging every day. It is recommended to charge it every day, the battery life will be prolonged. If the lead-acid battery is often used without being fully charged, it will produce a kind of "memory", affect its driving range, and also lose the service life of the battery.

5. It must be fully charged each time. After the indicator light changes color, the charger seems to be fully charged on the surface, but the lead-acid battery is not. If the battery is fully charged, the lamp will continue to charge for a period of time to prevent the battery from vulcanizing.

6. Complete the discharge regularly. In the case of normal load on flat roads, ride to the first under-voltage protection, and then fully charge the battery after it is fully discharged. Fully discharging the battery regularly is also conducive to the "activation" of the battery, which can slightly increase the capacity of the battery.

7. Pay attention to the charging environment. The best ambient temperature for charging is 25°C. Overcharge or overcharge may occur in winter or summer. Therefore, batteries and chargers are usually placed in a ventilated environment at a room temperature of about 25°C.

8. Do not expose the battery to high temperatures. Do not expose your electric car to the sun. If the temperature is too high, the internal pressure of the battery will increase, and the battery pressure limiting valve will be forced to open automatically. The direct consequence is to increase the water loss of the battery. Excessive water loss in the battery will inevitably lead to fatal damages such as decreased battery activity, accelerated plate softening, heat generation, swelling, and deformation of the housing.

9. Develop a good habit of saving electricity. When you are about to encounter a red light or go downhill, you should use the power-off method to slow down as much as possible in advance to minimize braking. When starting, turn the handle slowly to avoid the impact of high current on the battery and reduce the power loss and life damage of the battery.

10. Insert the battery case before charging. Due to the large charging current of the battery, if the charger is plugged into the AC terminal first, the charger power supply will complete the startup state, so once the battery is inserted, a large surge current will be generated, and the excessive surge current will easily damage the charger , Affect the service life of the battery. On the contrary, giving the charger a soft-start process, so that the charging current has a delay and gradually rising start-up process, which is beneficial to protect the equipment.
