How to improve the battery life of lithium batteries

       With the advancement of battery technology, many electric vehicle users are no longer worried about the cruising range, but worry about the problem of early dismissal or decline of the battery. After all, as the key heart of an electric vehicle, it is inevitable to spend a A lot of money. Here are four suggested tips to properly use the battery to ensure longevity.

1.temperature not extremely hot and cold

      Batteries rely on chemical bonds and reactions between the elements within them. Modern lithium batteries have greatly increased the temperature range in which they can operate, but ideally it is still desirable to avoid extreme temperatures, both extremely hot and cold, as both have the potential to shorten the battery in the long run life.

In recent years, the hotter and hotter summer temperatures, and the ground temperature often exceeds 40 or 50 degrees Celsius, which is a very severe test for the battery. Therefore, it is recommended to park the car in the shade or under a cover on hot summer days. Will help extend the life of the battery.

2.Use slow charging whenever possible

     Just like EV batteries don't like to discharge quickly, they also don't like to charge too quickly. Strictly speaking, it is not that "fast charging will accelerate the decline of the battery", but the heating of the battery caused by fast charging may cause internal damage to the battery, resulting in poor lithium-ion conduction efficiency. So unless you need fast charging on a long trip, or suddenly need to drive more miles than planned in a day, a slow charge at home can reduce the stress on the battery.

3.Do not charge to 100%.

     The battery life is related to the discharge cycle and the charge-discharge cycle. Lithium batteries are often charged to 100%, or even used close to 0%. Frequent deep charge and discharge is the most severe test for the battery, and it will be consumed faster. Battery Life. It is recommended to keep the battery in the range of 60% to 80% in daily life. If you use a long mileage in a single day, please also master the 80/20 rule. The charging should not exceed 80% and the discharge should not be lower than 20%. It is better to charge frequently. Discharge, and do not have extreme power conditions.
