There are many maintenance, repair, and charging techniques for electric vehicles. If users pay more attention to them, there is no problem with increasing the life time of electric vehicle. However, there is a lot of information in various media, Users are very confusing and don't know which is correct. The following is misconceptions about electric vehicle's maintenance, repair, charging and other behaviors that Homsincycle have compiled:

Misunderstanding 1:  Charge the battery until it runs out!

During the use of the battery, users drive until the battery is empty at all before recharging it. This behavior will cause the battery to wear out too quickly and shorten the battery's life. If over-discharge and recharge is with high frequency, battery service life will be greatly reduced.

Misunderstanding 2:  If charge for a long time, the battery will explode!

If the charger which does not have the function of cutting power off automatically, charge the battery for a long time will cause the charger and the battery cable to overheat, melt and short-circuit, causing spontaneous combustion. But the lead-acid battery itself can not explode.

Misunderstanding 3:  The battery is low in technology and the quality in market is similar!

Although the battery does not have too high-tech content, many well-known brands that cooperate with Homsincycle have made some improvements in plate alloys, grid structure, etc., so the quality of batteries of different brands is still very different.

Misunderstanding 4:  The air switch is an unimportant part and can be omitted!

The air switch is a kind of switch that trips as long as there is a short circuit and the switch forms a loop, which is equivalent to the function of a fuse. In order to reduce costs, many small manufacturers omitted the air switch, which could easily cause electrical components to burn out or spontaneously ignite when the line is short-circuited.

Misunderstanding 5:  Battery repair can extend battery life!

If the battery loses water and is vulcanized and passivated, it can be repaired with a repair instrument by adding liquid. However, if the lead powder of the battery plate is severely peeled off, or the user uses it improperly, the battery cannot be repaired if the battery is severely swollen or deformed. Therefore, battery repair is only a temporary solution, not the root cause.

Misunderstanding 6:  The charger can be universal as long as the voltage is the same!

The quality of the charger will directly affect the service life of the battery. The charger not only matches the voltage of the battery, but also the current. If it is low-quality, it will increase the chance of spontaneous combustion, and usually it cannot be fully charged.

Misunderstanding 7:  Use the battery without being fully charged!

If the battery is often used without being fully charged, it will cause the battery to have a bad memory, and cause the battery to be unable to be fully charged in the future, affect the travel mileage and service life.

Misunderstanding 8:  The faster of the electric vehicle, the better!

When buying an electric vehicle, many customers always hope that the faster the better, but there are at least two disadvantages of a faster speed. The first point is that the faster the speed, the greater the risk factor, the more difficult to brake. The second point is that frequent high-speed riding will reduce the service life of the motor and battery.

Misunderstanding 9:  Fast charging will not damage the battery!

At present, the batteries used in electric vehicles are generally lead-acid version, but most of the fast chargers on the market use high-voltage and high-current pulses to charge the batteries quickly. When high-current charging, the polarization speed of the battery plate will be accelerated and the service life will be reduced.

Misunderstanding 10:  The more functions an electric vehicle has, the more high-end it is!

In order to make products more competitive, many manufacturers add various functions to electric vehicles, which also mislead many consumers. They always think that the more functions the vehicles have, the higher grade. But there is no doubt that the more functional, the higher the probability of failure and maintenance rate. Many useless functions can only increase the cost and cannot reflect the high-end.

The above ten misunderstandings are harmful to the life of electric vehicles and batteries. Therefore, Homsincycle kindly remind consumers to pay attention to them, otherwise it will cause great damage to your electric vehicles.

Homsincycle wish you a happy and safe use of your electric vehicle in life. J
