Charging and maintenance of electric vehicle lithium batteries, as well as precautions for use
2023-10-17
Lithium battery charging:
1. Place it to recharge: The battery pack has some remaining power before leaving the factory, and the electric vehicle can be ridden for short distances after it is sold. After the first ride, the battery must be charged for the first time. It is recommended that the first charge should take a longer time (8-12 hours).

After the first ride, the battery must be charged for the first time. It is recommended that the first charge should take a longer time (8-12 hours).
2. Normal charging: First connect the charger and the battery pack to be charged, and then connect the charger power plug to the 220V AC power supply. (This connection sequence will avoid the generation of sparks when plugging and unplugging the charging plug.) When the power is turned on, the charger displays a red indicator light to indicate that the battery pack is charging normally. Charging can take 6-8 hours. Try to avoid completely draining the battery before recharging it, as deep charging and discharging may reduce battery life. Conventional charge and discharge ranges are typically between 20% and 80%.
3. Note on the charger: In order to ensure the charging safety of the battery pack and ensure the service life of the battery pack, this battery pack can only use the matching 36V lithium battery special charger. If the charger is lost or damaged, please purchase it from the corresponding dealer. Do not use lead-acid chargers or other forms of chargers for charging. Do not leave the battery charged for long periods of time, and unplug the charger as soon as it is fully charged.

Lithium battery maintenance:
1. Keep the battery clean and dry: Make sure the battery and connectors are kept dry and dust-free to prevent corrosion or short circuits.

2. Check the battery regularly: Check the battery and connecting cables for any physical damage or abnormalities. If a problem is found, repair or replace the damaged part immediately.
3. Regular balancing charging: Some electric vehicles may require regular battery balancing charging to ensure that the battery cells are balanced. This is usually done by a battery management system (BMS) but needs to be checked regularly.
4. Maintain proper temperatures: Store your electric vehicle within the proper temperature range and avoid extreme cold or hot conditions.
The battery pack capacity is measured at normal temperature of 25°C, so in winter, it is considered normal for the battery capacity to be reduced and the driving range to be slightly reduced. It is recommended to charge the battery pack in a place with higher ambient temperature in winter to ensure that the battery pack is fully charged. When the electric vehicle is not being ridden or parked, it is recommended that customers unplug the battery pack from the electric vehicle or turn off the power lock. Because the motor and controller will consume power under no-load conditions, please avoid wasting power.

Precautions when using lithium batteries:
1. Avoid excessive acceleration and sudden braking: Excessive acceleration and sudden braking may speed up the battery consumption.
2. Avoid extreme environments: Avoid using electric vehicles in extreme cold or high temperatures, as these conditions can affect battery performance.
3. Regular use: Even if the electric vehicle is not used regularly, it is recommended to use the battery regularly to maintain its performance.
4. Storage precautions: If you need to store the electric vehicle for a long time, store the battery in a partially charged state (about 50% capacity) and ensure that the battery is in a dry and warm environment.
Special reminder: Do not unpack, modify, or damage the battery without authorization; it is strictly prohibited to use this battery on other brands or models of electric vehicles; avoid foreign objects short-circuiting the charging and discharging ports when using it.
