Why does the charger get extremely hot when charging an electric car?
1 Answers
The charger being very hot is abnormal. It may be due to battery issues preventing proper charging, such as battery aging or lack of water, causing the charger to overheat or even fail to switch to the green light. It's best to stop charging immediately to avoid accidents. We recommend taking the electric vehicle to a repair shop for inspection and maintenance. Below are some car battery maintenance tips: Avoid prolonged vehicle parking: The battery installed in the vehicle will self-discharge during extended periods of inactivity, so it's best to drive the car at least once a week for a minimum of 20 minutes to allow the battery to recharge while driving. Close windows before turning off the engine: The car's windows and sunroof operate using battery power, so it's advisable to close all windows before turning off the engine rather than after, or using the long-press lock button method to close windows after leaving the vehicle. Keep the battery clean and tidy: Regular inspection is an effective way to extend the car battery's lifespan. Use a professional battery terminal brush or an old toothbrush to clean dust and corrosion from the battery's positive and negative terminals. Apply petroleum jelly or grease to the contact surfaces to form a protective film.
