What is the voltage of an electric vehicle battery?
1 Answers
An electric vehicle with 5 batteries has a voltage of 60 volts. The most commonly used lead-acid batteries in electric vehicles are 48 volts and 60 volts, which are composed of different numbers of 12-volt batteries. Below are specific precautions for electric vehicle batteries: 1. Prevent over-discharge: Continuing to discharge a battery after it reaches the termination voltage is called over-discharge. Over-discharge can severely damage the battery and is extremely detrimental to its electrical performance and cycle life. 2. Short circuit: When a battery is in a short-circuit state, the short-circuit current can reach hundreds of amperes. The stronger the short-circuit contact, the greater the short-circuit current. All connecting parts will generate a large amount of heat, with more heat at weaker points, potentially melting the connections and causing a short circuit. 3. Explosion: Local areas of the battery may produce explosive gases. Sparks generated when connections melt can cause the battery to explode. 4. Avoid short circuits: Absolutely no short circuits should occur with the battery. Be especially careful during installation or use. Tools used should be insulated. When connecting wires, first connect all electrical devices except the battery, check for no short circuits, and finally connect the battery. Wiring should be properly insulated to prevent overlapping and pressure that could cause cracks.
