Is it necessary to fully discharge a new battery before its first charge?

[LenaDella]

It is not necessary to fully discharge a new battery before its first charge. In fact, completely draining the battery can damage it. The battery is a crucial component of an electric vehicle and is also a wear-prone part. As the number of charge-discharge cycles increases, the battery's performance will decline, so it requires regular replacement. Additional information: The timing for charging can be referenced as follows: 1. When the battery is 100% discharged, the charging time is typically around 8 to 10 hours, but should not exceed 12 hours (as it may affect battery lifespan). It is not advisable to fully discharge the battery every time it is used. Generally, it is recommended to charge the battery when about 70% of its capacity is used, with a charging time of approximately 6 to 8 hours. 2. For short-distance usage, the following recommendations apply: If daily usage is around 10%, charge once a week. For 20% daily usage, charge every three days. For 30% daily usage, charge every two days. For daily usage above 40%, charge once a day, controlling the charging time to around 6 hours.
