Anyone who has bought an electric vehicle has probably had this experience: at the time of purchase, the dealer always tells you to charge the battery before the first use. So why should an electric vehicle battery be charged before first use? It is explained below from three aspects.

1. From leaving the factory to being used, a battery usually passes through 1-2 months or even longer. During storage, self-discharge and other spontaneous reactions inside the battery consume part of its charge, so it cannot reach its rated capacity. Therefore, before first use it is best to give an electric vehicle battery a supplementary charge, so that customers do not mistake this for insufficient capacity.

2. Good care makes the battery last longer. Every household or person who buys an e-bike hopes it can be used for a long time, but various factors shorten the battery's service life. On this point, it is best to take good care of it, which not only extends its life but also saves money.

3. Better range. A good electric vehicle battery has a strong range and brings great convenience to users, especially the high-quality ones. Just imagine: a battery that can easily carry you to a farther place, and one that can only reach a nearby place, which would you prefer? Needless to say, it is the former.

After reading these three points, you can see that charging an electric vehicle battery before first use is meant to extend its service life.
