Can a 60V Charger Be Used for a 48V Battery?
1 Answers
A 60V charger cannot be used for a 48V electric vehicle. This is because a 60V charger is designed to stop charging (indicated by a light change) at around 68V, while a 48V battery stops charging at approximately 55V. Therefore, using a 60V charger on a 48V battery will never trigger the light change. Prolonged charging can cause the 48V battery to lose water, swell, or even explode. Relevant information about car batteries is as follows: 1. Introduction: A car battery, also known as a storage battery, is a type of battery that converts chemical energy into electrical energy. Typically, the term 'battery' refers to a lead-acid battery, which is mainly composed of lead and its oxides, with a sulfuric acid solution as the electrolyte. 2. Working Principle: It uses a lead plate filled with sponge-like lead as the negative electrode, a lead plate filled with lead dioxide as the positive electrode, and a 22-28% dilute sulfuric acid solution as the electrolyte. During charging, electrical energy is converted into chemical energy, and during discharging, chemical energy is converted back into electrical energy.
