How Often Should Electric Vehicle Batteries Be Replaced?
1 Answers
The lifespan of a pure electric vehicle's battery varies depending on the type. For long-life lead-acid batteries, the cycle life is typically between 200 to 500 cycles, generally lasting 1.5-2 years. For lithium iron phosphate power batteries, the cycle life ranges from 400 to 800 cycles, with a theoretical lifespan of 7-8 years. Below are some methods to extend battery life: Precautions when the vehicle is off: Avoid using in-car devices or external power sources when the vehicle is turned off. Turn off headlights: Always remember to turn off the headlights when parking at night. Regular checks: Inspect the battery every six months. Disconnect when not in use: If the vehicle will not be used for an extended period, disconnect all in-car electronic devices from the battery.
