Maintenance of electric bicycle batteries

After being manufactured by battery manufacturers, the lifespan and performance of qualified electric scooter batteries depend to some extent on the use and maintenance of consumers.

(1) Matching of charger and battery.

The battery used in electric scooters is damaged by charging, not being worn out, which shows the importance of matching the charger and battery. There are two situations here: first, the new charger itself does not match the parameters provided by the battery manufacturer; second, the quality of the components of the charger itself is poor, and when it is first used, it is relatively matched. As consumers cycle the charging and discharging, the charger itself experiences temperature rise and component aging, resulting in drift of the charging voltage and conversion current, and the battery is damaged.

(2) Regularly and promptly replenish electricity.

Consumers often have a misconception about the nominal cycle life stated in the user manual, believing that charging once reduces the battery's lifespan. Therefore, they wait for the battery's energy to reach the protection voltage of 31.5V of the controller before starting to recharge. Little do they know that this not only fails to protect the battery, but also shortens its lifespan. So we remind consumers that if possible, they should replenish the battery in a timely manner.

(3) It is strictly prohibited to continue cycling when the indicator light shows undervoltage. Some consumers ride on the road, and after the indicator light shows undervoltage, they take a break and then ride for a while. This poses a great danger to the battery. Severe over discharge can cause the battery to salinize or form lead dendrites, causing a short circuit and affecting its lifespan.

(4) Electric scooters should be assisted as much as possible when starting, climbing, or overloading.

(5) When cycling on rainy days, try to avoid getting switches and connectors wet to prevent electric leakage.
