Do new lead-acid batteries need to be fully discharged before charging?

Lead-acid batteries do not need to be fully discharged before charging. Here is the relevant introduction: 1. Suggestion: For the first charge of a new electric vehicle, there is no need to deliberately discharge the battery completely before charging. Lead-acid batteries have no memory effect. It is generally recommended to charge the battery when the remaining capacity is 30% to 40%, which is the optimal time. It is usually not recommended to charge for more than 12 hours. 2. First charge: When charging the battery for the first time, the charger may heat up quickly and reach a high temperature, especially during summer charging. Do not place the charger on objects that are prone to heat or combustion, and it is best not to place it on the seat of the electric vehicle to prevent fire. Many cases of spontaneous combustion of electric vehicles have occurred during charging, so please be very careful.
