When using electric vehicles, do you have the question, frequent charging will shorten the battery life?
1. Charging frequency and battery life
At present, most of the electric vehicles are powered by lithium batteries. The industry generally uses the number of battery cycles to measure the service life of the power battery. The number of cycles refers to the process in which the battery is discharged from 100% to 0% and then filled to 100%, and generally speaking, lithium iron phosphate batteries can be cycled about 2000 times. Therefore, the owner of a day to charge 10 times to complete a charging cycle and a day to charge 5 times to complete a charging cycle on the battery damage is the same. Lithium-ion batteries are also characterized by no memory effect, so the charging method should be charging as you go, rather than overcharging. Charging as you go will not shorten the life of the battery, and will even reduce the possibility of battery combustion.
2. Notes for first time charging
When charging for the first time, the owner should use the AC slow charger. The input voltage of AC slow charger is 220V, the charging power is 7kW, and the charging time is longer. However, the AC pile charging is more gentle, which is conducive to prolonging the battery life. When charging, you should choose to use regular charging equipment, you can go to the nearby charging station to charge, and you can check the charging standard and specific location of each station, and also support reservation service. If the family conditions allow, owners can install their own home AC slow charging pile, the use of residential electricity can also further reduce the cost of charging.
3. How to buy home AC pile
How to choose the right charging pile for a family that has the ability to install a charging pile? We will briefly explain several aspects that should be noted when purchasing a home charging pile.
(1) Product protection level
Protection level is an important index for purchasing charging pile products, and the larger the number, the higher the protection level. If the charging pile is installed in outdoor environment, the protection level of the charging pile should not be lower than IP54.
(2) Equipment volume and product function
When purchasing a charging post, you need to combine your installation scenario and usage requirements. If you have an independent garage, it is recommended to use wall-mounted charging pile; if it is an open parking space, you can choose floor-standing charging pile, and also need to pay attention to the charging pile private function design, whether it supports the identity recognition function, etc., to avoid being stolen by other people and so on.
(3) Standby power consumption
After electrical equipment is connected and energized, it will continue to consume electricity due to standby power consumption even if it is in an idle state. For families, a charging post with high standby power consumption will often result in part of the extra household electricity expenses and increase the cost of electricity.
