Tips For Long Lasting Electric Vehicle Battery

Tips for Caring for Electric Vehicle Batteries to Stay Durable So You Don't Often Buy New Batteries (CarMagazine)

YOGYAKARTA- As time goes by, human awareness to protect the environment is increasing. One form of this awareness can be seen from the shift in the use of motorized vehicles to electric vehicles.

Motor vehicles use fuel oil and produce harmful emission gases, such as CO, CO2, NO, and HC. These carbon emissions can have an impact on decreasing the quality of the environment and human health.

The electric vehicle itself does not produce carbon emissions, aka more environmentally friendly. Apart from that, a very important component in an electric vehicle is the battery. The reason is, the battery can be said to be the fuel for electric vehicles.

Unfortunately, electric vehicle batteries on the market tend to be expensive at varying prices. Therefore, it is important to maintain the durability of electric vehicle batteries so that they do not get damaged quickly. The VOI team summarized some tips to maintain the life of electric vehicle batteries.

How to Keep Electric Vehicle Batteries To Last

1. Use a charger according to the specifications or battery capacity so that the battery remains durable and does not get damaged quickly.

2. No waiting for an empty battery to charge. This is important to do to avoid battery leakage. The reason is, each battery has a low limit for charging, if you often charge the battery when it drops, the potential for battery leakage will be even greater.

3. Do not overcharging the battery. A battery that is charged for too long will make it hot when charging. This excessive heat can potentially become an explosion which is certainly dangerous. Tips that can be applied to avoid overcharging is to use a timer or other reminder.

5. Charge the battery at least once a month when the electric vehicle is not used for a long time. This is to keep the battery from dropping easily.

6. Maintain electrical devices by cleaning battery cables at least once a month.

7. Treat the vehicle well. For example, do not step on the gas immediately. It would be nice to pull the gas slowly. The reason is, adding gas suddenly will have an impact on the absorption of large electrical energy and potentially damage the engine. Similarly, when lowering the gas, do it slowly. In addition, "toy gas" also causes the battery to be more wasteful.

In addition to some of the tips above, the important thing that needs to be considered is when using an electric vehicle on an incline area. When going through extreme inclines, especially electric bikes, pedal a bicycle to keep it safe.

Because electric bikes that go through extreme incline will make the engine work too hard and of course will have an impact on the battery.
