Why Does a New Energy Vehicle Lose Power After Sitting for a Few Days?
2 Answers
New energy vehicles lose power after sitting for a few days due to their inherent characteristics. Generally, when the battery is not in use, it will experience slow discharge. Below are some usage tips for new energy vehicles: Regularly Check the Battery: New energy vehicles require regular battery inspections to prevent the battery from remaining in a low-power state for extended periods. If the vehicle is not in use for a long time, the battery should be fully charged before storage, and its power level should be checked monthly to ensure timely recharging. During daily use, avoid waiting until the battery is completely depleted before recharging. Avoid Sudden Acceleration While Driving: When driving a new energy vehicle, avoid sudden acceleration, as pressing the accelerator pedal hard can generate a large instantaneous current, causing the lithium battery to discharge rapidly. Based on the performance of the lithium iron phosphate batteries currently used in new energy vehicles, high-current pulse discharge can significantly shorten the battery's lifespan.
I've encountered similar situations with my new energy vehicle, usually due to the background system consuming power. Even when parked, the GPS positioning and remote control modules remain operational, drawing power to maintain network connectivity. The battery management system also works to balance the cells, ensuring safety, which consumes a significant amount of power. In high or low temperature environments, the thermal management system automatically activates to protect the main battery, adding extra power consumption. It's advisable to regularly monitor the battery status via the mobile app. If the small battery is found to be old, replace it promptly to avoid exacerbating the issue. Choosing a shaded and cool spot for parking can help save power.
