How to Maintain the Battery of an Electric Vehicle When Not in Use for a Long Time?

[KaiRose]

Electric vehicles left unused for extended periods can have the following impacts on the battery and corresponding solutions: 1. Avoid storing the battery in a discharged state: A discharged state occurs when the battery is not recharged promptly after use. In this state, sulfation is likely to occur, where lead sulfate crystals form on the plates, blocking ion channels and leading to insufficient charging and reduced battery capacity. The longer the battery remains idle in a discharged state, the more severe the damage. Solution: When the battery is not in use, charge it once a month to extend its lifespan. 2. Conduct regular inspections: If the range of the electric bicycle suddenly drops by more than ten kilometers in a short period, it is highly likely that at least one battery in the pack has issues such as broken grids, softened plates, or shedding of active material from the plates, leading to short circuits. Solution: Promptly take the battery to a professional repair facility for inspection, repair, or replacement.
