Therefore, in electric bicycles, the balance and consistency of the battery pack have a significant impact on the service life of the battery. How to improve the balance and consistency of battery packs is a challenge faced by every battery manufacturer, but for consumers, how to use them reasonably can also have a certain impact on the balance and consistency of batteries, thereby affecting their service life. Based on years of research and practical use of batteries, it is recommended that consumers use batteries in a reasonable manner using the following methods:; (1) Electric bike riding speed: not exceeding 20km/h. (2) Cycling distance: 10-30km/day, with a discharge depth of 70% or less (deep discharge every 2 months). (3) Charging frequency: once a day. (4) Load capacity: Single person cycling (can carry one child under 10 years old). According to the above method, high-quality electric bicycles can be used normally for 3-4 years, or even 5 years, and the battery can be used for about 1 and a half years. The reason is that there is a turning point of voltage drop in lead-acid batteries during the later stage of discharge, which is 10.5V/unit. If the batteries continue to discharge afterwards, it will cause over discharge of the outdated batteries. Over time, this will lead to a decrease in the balance and consistency of the battery pack, resulting in the failure of the entire battery pack. The battery industry standard requires a battery cycle life of 70% discharge, that is, a 10Ah battery with 5A discharge for 84 minutes, a voltage limit of 14.7-15.0V, and a current limit of 3A charging for 4.6 hours per cycle. Generally, battery manufacturers can produce batteries up to 350 times, while better companies can produce batteries up to 500 times or more. This indicates that the shallower the discharge depth of the battery, the longer its cycle life and service life. Therefore, the common belief among consumers that charging once is a cycle is incorrect. In order to extend the lifespan of the battery they are using, it is necessary to keep the battery fully charged at all times. In a state of long-term battery depletion, the negative electrode plate of the battery is prone to salinization, causing a loss of battery capacity and affecting its service life.

1. Do not replace the charger casually, and do not remove the speed limit of the controller

Chargers from various manufacturers generally have personalized needs, so do not replace them casually when unsure. If the required driving range is relatively long, it is necessary to equip multiple chargers for long-distance charging. The chargers that are recharged during the day should be supplemented with additional chargers, while the original chargers should be used at night. Removing the speed limit of the controller can increase the speed of some cars, but it will not only reduce the safety of the car, but also shorten the service life of the battery.

2. Protect the charger properly

The general user manual contains instructions on protecting the charger. Many users do not have the habit of reading the manual, and often only think of looking for it after the problem is solved. It is often too late, so it is necessary to read the manual first. In order to reduce costs, most current chargers have not been designed with high vibration resistance. Therefore, chargers should not be placed in the trunk and basket of electric bicycles. In case of special need to move, the charger should also be packed with foam plastic to prevent vibration. After many chargers undergo vibration, their internal potentiometers will drift, causing the entire parameter to drift, resulting in abnormal charging status. Another thing to note is to keep the charger ventilated during charging, otherwise it may not only affect the lifespan of the charger, but also cause thermal drift and affect the charging state. This will cause damage to the battery. So, protecting the charger is also very important.

3. Charging every day

Even if your driving ability is not required to last long and can be used for 2 to 3 days on a single charge, it is still recommended that you charge it every day to keep the battery in a shallow cycle state, which will prolong its lifespan. Some early users of mobile phones thought that it was best to charge the battery after it was basically used up. This view is incorrect, as the memory benefits of lead-acid batteries are not as strong. Frequent discharge has a significant impact on the lifespan of the battery. Most chargers may charge 97% to 99% of the battery after the indicator light changes to indicate full charge. Although only 1% to 3% of the battery is under charged, the impact on the driving ability can be almost ignored. However, it can also form under charging accumulation. Therefore, after the battery is fully charged, it is still advisable to continue floating charging as much as possible, which is also beneficial for suppressing battery vulcanization.

4. Timely charging

After the battery is discharged, the vulcanization process begins, and obvious vulcanization occurs within 12 hours. Timely charging can remove minor sulfurization. If not charged in time, these sulfurization crystals will accumulate and gradually form coarse crystals. General chargers are powerless against these coarse crystals, which will gradually lead to a decrease in battery capacity and shorten the battery's service life. So, in addition to charging every day, it is also important to pay attention to charging as early as possible after use, in order to keep the battery fully charged as much as possible.

5. Regular deep discharge

Regular deep discharge of the battery is also beneficial for activating the battery, which can slightly increase its capacity. The general method is to perform a complete discharge of the battery on a regular basis. The method of complete discharge is to ride the bike to the first undervoltage protection under normal load conditions on a flat road surface. Note that we particularly emphasize the first undervoltage protection. After the first undervoltage protection, the voltage of the battery will continue to rise and return to a non undervoltage state after a period of time. If the battery is used again at this time, it will cause significant damage to the battery. After complete discharge, fully charge the battery. I will feel that the battery capacity has increased.

6. Develop good habits of energy conservation

Make the most of gliding. When going downhill, try to use early power off to coast down and slow down as much as possible. Advance into taxiing when approaching traffic lights to minimize braking. A friend told me that he would rather turn the bay one more time than reduce the braking, which makes sense

When starting, it is best to add cycling assistance, which can not only improve the starting speed, but also reduce the battery's power loss and lifespan damage.

7. Pay attention to the charging environment

The optimal ambient temperature for charging is 25 ℃. Nowadays, most chargers do not have an automatic control system that can adapt to the ambient temperature, so most chargers are designed according to the ambient temperature of 25 ℃, so charging at 25 ℃ is better. Otherwise, it is inevitable to encounter issues of under charging in winter and over charging in summer. When the ambient temperature is truly 25 ℃, it is relatively low, which inevitably leads to the problem of overcharging in summer and undercharging in winter. Fortunately, most households now have indoor temperature control conditions. Therefore, when charging, it is best to arrange the battery and charger in a ventilated and temperature controlled environment.

A special reminder is that when the battery enters a warm indoor environment at low temperatures outdoors in northern winter, frost and condensation may appear on the surface of the battery. To avoid battery leakage caused by frost condensation, charging should be carried out after the battery temperature rises to a level close to indoor temperature and is dry.

8. Make full use of maintenance conditions

Many electric bicycle dealers can provide battery maintenance and repair services, and these services should be fully utilized. Some brands of electric bicycles propose battery maintenance. For example, regular maintenance of the battery can reduce damage to the battery. Repairing the state of charge of the battery can alleviate the failure of outdated batteries, which is easy for dealers equipped with repair capabilities. For dehydration, replenishing water at 70% battery capacity is more effective than replenishing water at 40% battery capacity. Even some brands of products propose that not repairing the battery within the specified time is equivalent to giving up the battery's warranty period. Causing consumers to suffer losses that should not have occurred. Therefore, consumers should fully utilize the conditions of battery maintenance to extend and increase the service life of batteries.

It is not advisable to charge after riding: The lifespan of a battery is determined by the number of charging and discharging cycles, and the number of charging and discharging cycles should be correctly controlled. The more charging and discharging cycles there are, the faster the lifespan will decay. The cycle lifespan of lead-acid battery packs is usually replaced once or twice a year. Therefore, it is not advisable to charge just after riding an electric vehicle. It is important to control the depth of battery discharge before charging.

Charging time should not be too long: Many electric vehicle users believe that the longer the charging time, the more sufficient the battery is. This is a very wrong charging time. Generally, the best charging time is to extend it within the range of the charger after changing the light. Overcharging for a long time can easily cause deformation and dehydration of the battery, which directly endangers the battery life.

It is strictly prohibited to drive with insufficient power: Some users may charge their electric vehicles until they are stationary, which can seriously damage battery performance. Multiple deep discharges can greatly shorten battery life. If the battery is not fully charged during the journey, it is best to step on it in advance to assist and avoid deep discharge. One charge must be fully charged, and use it if not fully charged, which will reduce battery life. It is best to avoid charging at fast charging stations in daily life.

Do not charge when the temperature is too high or too low: During the charging process, the battery itself will generate a small amount of heat. Charging at a high temperature will cause the temperature of the bottle to rise, which will damage the performance of the battery; Low temperature, poor battery acceptance, reduced activity, insufficient battery power, increased charging and discharging times, and shortened battery life.

Overloading driving is not allowed, especially on uphill sections, as sudden increase in current can cause damage to the battery and easily cause the motor controller to burn out.

six

Prohibit long-term parking under low power conditions: When you will not be using an electric vehicle for a period of time, fully charge it and leave it there first; Recharge electricity once every month.

seven

Deep discharge of the battery once every 1-2 months: After using the battery for a period of time, there will inevitably be some active substance precipitation. If the active substance is not activated in time, it will inevitably cause a certain decrease in battery capacity.

eight

Regularly observe the quality of the charger: The charging process of a new battery is usually intermittent. If the charging time is too long, check whether the voltage protection device of the charger is damaged. Long term charging can cause battery deformation, which is not covered by the manufacturer's warranty.

nine

Prevent the battery from being exposed to sunlight: After being exposed to sunlight, the battery should not be charged immediately, otherwise it may cause cracking or deformation. It is necessary to wait for cooling before charging.
