What Does Commuter Vehicle Mean?
1 Answers
Commuter vehicles, also known as lazy cars, refer to transportation tools and aids primarily used for commuting purposes. In China, they can sometimes refer to commuting cars, electric bicycles, electric scooters, two-wheel self-balancing scooters, or unicycle balancing scooters. The following are precautions for battery maintenance of commuter vehicles: 1. Drive according to road conditions: Mainly, avoid bumpy roads as much as possible. When going uphill, crossing bridges, or driving against the wind with heavy loads, be sure to slow down. This helps avoid excessive current discharge from the battery, reduces impact damage to the battery, and also enhances the battery's range and lifespan. When driving a commuter vehicle in winter, try not to maximize the horsepower to avoid power shortages caused by reduced battery capacity in low temperatures, which also helps extend the battery's lifespan. 2. Charge promptly: Never store a commuter vehicle in a discharged state. Storing the battery in a discharged state can easily lead to sulfation, where lead sulfate crystals adhere to the plates, blocking ion channels and resulting in insufficient charging and reduced battery capacity. The longer the battery remains idle in a discharged state, the more severe the damage. Therefore, even when the commuter vehicle is not in use, it should be charged once a month to maintain the battery's health. 3. Avoid high-current discharge: When starting, carrying passengers, or going uphill, try to avoid instantaneous high-current discharge. High-current discharge can easily lead to the formation of lead sulfate crystals, thereby damaging the battery's physical performance.
