72v32a and 72v20a chargers are generally not interchangeable. Reasons why these two chargers are usually not interchangeable: If a 20ah battery charger is used to charge a 32ah battery, there is generally no problem except for slightly longer charging time. However, if a 32ah battery charger is used to charge a 20ah battery, this constitutes fast charging which is very dangerous. Typically, after continuous use for about a week, the battery capacity will significantly decrease, and you'll noticeably experience reduced driving range. Introduction to chargers: An electric vehicle charger is a dedicated charging device designed for electric bicycle batteries. Charger classification: Based on the presence or absence of a power frequency (50Hz) transformer, they can be divided into two main categories. Freight tricycle chargers generally use transformer-based chargers, which are large, heavy, and power-consuming but reliable and affordable; electric bicycles and electric motorcycles typically use switching power supply-type chargers, which are energy-efficient and highly efficient but more prone to failure. The correct operation for switching power supply-type chargers is: when charging, first connect the battery, then connect to mains power; when fully charged, first disconnect mains power, then unplug the battery. If the battery is unplugged first during charging, especially when the charging current is high (red light), it can easily damage the charger.

The voltage is consistently 72V, but the current specifications differ. When dealing with electric vehicle issues, I found that 32A and 20A are not directly interchangeable. For example, if your battery is 32A but the controller can only handle 20A, using it may overload and burn out the device. Conversely, a smaller 20A battery connected to a high-load system may fail to supply enough power, resulting in startup failure. They are also incompatible during charging—a 32A charger used on a 20A battery will charge too quickly, causing overheating and damaging the battery cells. The safety risks are significant, and it also affects the driving range. Ordinary users should avoid mixing them for convenience. I’ve seen many vehicle owners encounter problems this way, ultimately spending more on repairs. Always check the device manual for the specified current range—matching voltage alone doesn’t guarantee safety. As batteries age, internal resistance changes can worsen the issue, so from a maintenance perspective, sticking to matched specifications is the safest approach.

How to Adjust Reversed Left and Right in Car Backup Camera?

Re-engage the reverse gear, locate the settings button in the navigation device while in backup camera mode, and check if there is a mirror adjustment or backup mirror function, then click to turn it off. Below is some related information about backup cameras: 1. Introduction to Backup Cameras: Also known as parking assist systems, or backup visual systems, onboard monitoring systems, etc. English name: vehicle-backup-camera. This system is widely used in various large, medium, and small vehicles for reversing or driving safety assistance. 2. Advantages of Backup Cameras: Easy installation. Generally, a standard single-output backup camera only requires connecting the positive power wire to the positive terminal of the car's reverse light power and the negative power wire to the negative terminal of the reverse light or to ground (GND). Wiring can be easily understood with a little research based on the vehicle model, and the camera can be installed by drilling a hole in an easily accessible location.

What is the size of the Ant steering wheel?

2021 Ant EQ1 steering wheel measures 37 to 38cm. It is recommended to purchase a genuine leather steering wheel cover for a soft and comfortable feel. Types of steering wheel covers: There are two types: standard steering wheel and sport steering wheel. Standard steering wheels are mainly made of plastic, leather, or rosewood, while sport steering wheels use genuine leather and flip leather materials, which are of higher quality. Genuine leather is best cleaned with special leather care solution. For heavily soiled covers, foam cleaning followed by rinsing with clean water is sufficient. Benefits of switching to genuine leather: If the original steering wheel does not come with genuine leather and the grip feels unsatisfactory, you can choose to cover it with a steering wheel protector. This enhances the tactile feel when holding the wheel and reduces wear on the steering wheel. When purchasing a steering wheel cover, it is important to pay attention to several factors to avoid compromising driving safety.

What is the reason why the Audi A4L's power-folding mirrors cannot retract?

Audi A4L's power-folding mirrors cannot retract due to motor failure or a stuck limit pin. Function of automatic mirror folding: The automatic folding function of car mirrors refers to the ability of the left and right exterior mirrors to automatically fold and retract when necessary. This feature enhances passability in narrow alleys or when passing other vehicles, avoids scratches and collisions, and reduces the space occupied in parking spots. Additionally, folding the mirrors when the owner leaves helps protect the mirror surfaces. Precautions for using power-folding mirrors: Do not use the power-folding mirror function when it is frozen in winter, as it may cause damage. Also, avoid manually folding the power mirrors.

How Often Should Stabilizer Bar Bushings Be Replaced?

There is no fixed replacement interval for stabilizer bar bushings; they should be replaced when the vehicle produces excessive noise over bumps. The working principle of the stabilizer bar is: when both left and right wheels pass over the same road bump, the stabilizer bar does not function. However, if the left and right wheels pass over different bumps, it causes the bar to twist, generating anti-roll resistance to suppress body roll. Symptoms of damaged stabilizer bar bushings include: 1. Incorrect wheel alignment, requiring a four-wheel alignment; 2. Uneven tire tread patterns or tread depths on both sides; 3. Unequal tire pressure on both sides, which can cause tires to become uneven in size, leading to pulling during rolling; 4. Deformed front shock absorber springs with inconsistent damping on both sides, which can be checked by pressing or comparing after removal to assess the condition of the shock absorber springs.
