Precautions for electric vehicle charging products
The precautions for electric vehicle charging products mainly include the following aspects:
1、 Choose the appropriate charging device
Manufacturer certification: It is necessary to use manufacturer certified charging stations or original chargers. Unqualified charging equipment may reduce charging efficiency and even damage the battery.
Professional installation: Household charging stations should be installed by professionals and their operating conditions should be regularly checked to ensure the safety and stability of the charging process.
2、 Control charging time and battery level
Power range: The optimal power range for electric vehicles is 20% to 80%. Try to avoid recharging when the battery level is too low (below 20%), and do not frequently charge it to 100%, as this can effectively extend the battery life.
Charging method: Slow charging is the best choice for protecting batteries in daily use, as it has a smaller charging current, reduces the accumulation of heat in the battery, and helps extend its lifespan. Although fast charging is fast, high current can accelerate internal aging of the battery and should only be used in emergency situations.
Timely power outage: After the battery is fully charged, it should be powered off in a timely manner. Keeping it fully charged for a long time may increase the burden on the battery and shorten its lifespan.
3、 Pay attention to the charging environment
Temperature control: The battery is very sensitive to temperature. Avoid charging in high temperature environments in summer, and use the vehicle's battery preheating function (if supported) in low temperature environments in winter. Generally speaking, the temperature of the charging environment should be between 0 ° C and 45 ° C.
Keep dry: Ensure that the charging interface and equipment are clean and intact, and avoid charging when the connecting wires are damaged, corroded, or rusted. At the same time, avoid charging in rainstorm, lightning and other bad weather, and ensure that the charging port and gun are in a dry state.
4、 Charging operation specifications
Turn off power: When charging, turn off the power in the car, such as the speaker, air conditioning, etc., to avoid consuming electricity while charging, which can reduce battery loss and heat generation.
Avoid high current discharge: When starting, accelerating, or going uphill, avoid forcefully stepping on the accelerator to form instantaneous high current discharge, which can easily damage the physical properties of the power battery plates.
Regular inspection: Regularly check the charging interface and charging cable to ensure that there is no dust, foreign matter, or moisture. If any damage is found, it should be repaired or replaced in a timely manner.
5、 Other precautions
Low valley charging: Charging during low valley periods of electricity can reduce charging costs.
Long term storage: If the vehicle is not used for a long time, it is recommended to use semi electric storage to maintain a battery level of 30% to 60% to avoid excessive discharge of the battery.
Use legitimate equipment: Avoid using non professional charging devices such as extension cords to reduce safety hazards.
In summary, the precautions for electric vehicle charging products involve multiple aspects, including selecting appropriate charging equipment, controlling charging time and power, paying attention to charging environment, standardizing charging operations, and paying attention to other details. Only by strictly following these precautions can we ensure the safe and efficient charging of electric vehicles and extend the battery life.
