Most people think that battery cars should be replaced after about two years, but that’s not the case. Pay attention to use and battery maintenance in daily use, can greatly extend the battery life. Here are some tips from 360 Common Sense. Come and have a look!
In order to extend battery life, points to note when using electric vehicles:
1. Do not drive (eg carrying people or heavy objects, etc) overloaded. When the instrument shows that the battery is low during the ride, manual riding should be used, because deep discharge will greatly damage the battery life.
2. Pay attention to how you charge. The first time a new battery is charged, it must take a long time and be fully charged. For lead-acid batteries, charge them immediately after use, regardless of distance, and do not charge them until they are completely drained. If the car is not used for a long time, it needs to be charged once a month. This can protect the battery and extend its service life.
3. Lead-acid batteries should be fully charged and stored in time. Don’t wait until the battery runs out to recharge. This will speed up the vulcanization of the battery plate, rapidly reduce the capacity of the battery, shorten the service life of the battery.
4. Batteries rely on a concentration of sulfuric acid reacting with lead to produce electricity. Once the fluid is low, the battery will be quickly damaged by heat during use, so it is important to replenish the fluid promptly.
5. Try to avoid sudden braking. Frequent sudden braking will affect brake sensitivity and consume battery capacity. You can’t go too fast. The faster the speed, the greater the battery loss.
6. Slow acceleration. Try to drive at a moderate speed. Medium speed is the most economical and has the least impact on the battery. The new battery has a range of about 60 kilometers at no more than 15 kilometers per hour and only about 45 kilometers at 25 kilometers per hour.
7. Do not start the car directly with the motor at rest. It’s best to start with your feet and build strength. When driving on a bridge, uphill or against the wind, pedal assistance must be used to avoid impact damage to the battery, affecting the range and service life of the battery.
8. Don’t accelerate sharply while driving. Sudden acceleration means that the battery needs to use strong current to expel electricity, which not only damages the battery plate, but also reduces the battery capacity rapidly and shorens the service life. And easy to burn the key switch switch contacts.
Ways to replace electrolytes:
1. Pry the cover off the battery first, because the cover broke when it was pry off, and there was glue in it.
2. There are six small holes in it and they are covered with rubber caps. Along with the surrounding white absorbent cotton.
3. With the syringe, add about 25 ml of supplementary liquid to each hole (depending on the lack of liquid in the personal battery, pay attention not to exceed the upper electrode plate, otherwise the liquid in the charge will be full, because the liquid will boil when charging, so if added, it will be withdrawn). Pay attention to the ventilation of the hole, otherwise it cannot be added.
4. Wipe away the surrounding leakage, restore the cap, and absorb the cotton. Wrap the battery with tape. At this point, your battery should last another two years!
