Will the battery be affected if an electric vehicle gets rained on?
1 Answers
Occasional exposure to rain will not cause problems with the battery. If the electric vehicle produced by the manufacturer is qualified and meets the following conditions: 1. The wiring is intact (wiring conduit). 2. Seamless plastic components. 3. The electric vehicle is not submerged in water, then occasional rain exposure will not cause battery issues. Precautions: 1. Keep the battery as fully charged as possible: Due to inherent factors, lead-acid batteries may crystallize, which shortens their lifespan. Keeping the battery fully charged prevents crystallization. Therefore, always charge the battery fully and avoid completely draining it—recharge once two-thirds of the battery has been used. 2. Regular maintenance: If the charger has smart maintenance or a CPU, perform a 24-hour maintenance charge every two weeks. Annual battery maintenance is also necessary.
