In this post, we present two simple rules for charging batteries used in electric vehicles. These rules extend the life of the cells used in them:
I. First of all, it is worth knowing that if you do not use the battery, you should charge it every two months:
- full lead-acid batteries
- lithium-ion batteries up to about 70%
II. Secondly, during everyday use of the vehicle, both types of batteries can always be fully charged. In addition, care should be taken to never overcharge or completely discharge the battery. It is best practice to make a habit of recharging with the help of an appropriate timer after each ride, which not only facilitates loading, but also protects against overcharging: e.g. Ansmann AES1 and others presented in another blog entry:
Finally, we will add that they exist specific technologies that may require slightly separate best charging practices, however higher these rules generally apply to these types of batteries and adhering to them will surely extend the life of the battery rather than failure to comply with them. If you have a battery other than that sold by GO ELECTRIC , it is best to find out about the details directly from the manufacturer of the battery. On the other hand, GO ELECTRIC also provides the best charging instructions with each vehicle.
