Can a 72v Charger Charge a 60v Battery?
1 Answers
No. Chargers and batteries are designed to be used in matched pairs. A 60v battery typically has a voltage range between 50v and 70v, while a 72v charger operates within a voltage range of 60v to 80v. If you use a 72v charger to charge a 60v battery, the battery may already be fully charged, but the charger will continue to supply power, leading to overcharging. This can shorten the battery's lifespan or even cause damage. Here is some additional information: Battery (or accumulator): The termination discharge voltage of a battery is 0.875 times its rated voltage (usually 0.9 times). If you examine an electric vehicle controller closely, you will notice that the undervoltage protection value is set at 0.875 times the rated voltage.
