5 Important Things You Should Know to Ensure Your Ebike Charger More Durable and Protect Your Battery

In the process of daily riding, electric vehicle users rarely pay attention to the use of chargers. In fact, the electric bike charger is a very important part of the maintenance of electric vehicles, which is related to the battery life and the safety of electric vehicles.Today, Full Young Power will take you to understand the daily maintenance of electric vehicle chargers.

1, Do not mix use the electric bike charger charging.

It should be emphasized here that it is strictly forbidden to mix use chargers. The voltage and capacity of the battery used in electric vehicles are different, the battery charger needs to be selected according to the voltage and capacity of the battery.

Many users like to mix use chargers for convenience. For example, some users use a 60 Volt charger to charge a 48 Volt battery, but they don't know that such a charging method will accelerate the battery's water loss and affect the battery's life. Therefore, the best way to charge is to charge with a dedicated ebike charger.

Electric vehicle users should not borrow other people's chargers or lend their own chargers to others. If you really need to borrow a charger, you must check whether your battery and charger model matched. The charger has reverse connection protection function, mix use charger will not only damage the charger, but also cause damage to the battery.

 

2, Covered the ebike charger is strictly prohibited when charging.

When charging, a chemical reaction will take place inside the battery, and if there is current flowing, heat will definitely be generated, so it is normal for the charger to be slightly hot. But it must be something wrong if it is very hot!!! Therefore, the heat dissipation of the charger is helpful for charging safety and the lifespan of the ebike charger. The design of the electric vehicle charger is based on the ambient temperature of 25°C, so it is better to charge at 25°C. Therefore, it is best to arrange the battery and charger in a ventilated environment when charging, and never cover it with clothes, quilts, etc. to avoid danger.

 

3, Avoiding bumps the portable ebike charger.

In order to facilitate charging, many users carry the electric vehicle charger with the car. This is convenient for them, but it always brings some problems. The long-term vibration of the charger may damage the components in the charger. For example, the magnetic core of the high-frequency transformer is broken or the large capacitor falls off, and the internal potentiometer will be displaced, which will cause the entire parameter to change, resulting in abnormal charging status. Therefore, it is generally not recommended to carry the charger with the car. If it must be carried, it should be wrapped with a buffer and placed in the toolbox on the car, which can effectively prevent the damage to the charger from bumps.

 

4, Do not charge in high temperature environment.

In hot weather, if the user chooses to charge in an environment with direct sunlight, it will cause the battery to lose water quickly and reduce its service life. Therefore, it is best to charge it in a cool place.

 

5, After the charger is exposed to rain, it must be dried before use.

The battery car charger cannot be charged immediately when it rains. Although the electronic components of the charger are covered by a casing, there are gaps, and water will inevitably enter after the rain. If the charger enters the water, once it is powered on, it will inevitably lead to a short circuit of electronic components such as circuit boards and controllers, and even burn out in serious cases. A little carelessness may cause a fire. Therefore, after the charger is exposed to rain, it must be dried before use.

Remove the case, wipe off the moisture on the electronic components and put it in the sun. Because the electronic components such as the circuit board and controller of the charger are covered by the casing, if they are not disassembled, even if they are placed in the sun, the water will be difficult to disperse to the outside after evaporation. If it is cold in the future, the water vapor will also become water and stay in the charger.

After the charger is completely dry, it can be powered on and used. If there is any abnormality during use, it is best to disassemble it for inspection. If the circuit components, resistors, capacitors, rectifier modules, etc. are visually inspected for signs of burnout, if there are any, it is necessary to go to the repair shop for repair or replacement.

The above are the daily maintenance suggestions for ebike charger users by Full Young Power. To ensure the service life of the charger and electric vehicle, we must maintain and maintain the charger, which can not only prolong the service life of the charger, but also improve the battery life of the electric vehicle.
