What are the effects of fast charging and slow charging on new energy vehicle batteries?
1 Answers
New energy vehicles using slow charging take too long to charge; using fast charging can damage battery life. Here are the specific details: 1. Fast charging: Fast charging stores direct current (DC) directly into the battery, so the requirements for the battery are very high. DC power has a large capacity, and charging accelerates the flow of electrons from the positive to the negative electrode. Therefore, prolonged or frequent use of fast charging can cause the battery temperature to rise, leading to faster battery degradation. 2. Slow charging: Slow charging uses alternating current (AC), with lower current and power compared to DC. Although the charging time is longer, it provides better protection for battery life and results in lower electricity costs.
