As electric vehicles become widespread, users encounter more and more problems in daily use. Here are solutions to several common electric vehicle battery questions for reference.

1. What kinds of batteries are available now?

Dedicated power storage batteries include the DZM and EVF valve-regulated electrolyte-absorbed series, and the DG tubular flooded batteries.

2. Does a newly bought battery need extra charging?

No. Today electric vehicle batteries are all made with internal formation processes, so it is best to use them first and then charge. The range of the first use may be relatively short because batteries self-discharge while in storage. Generally 3-5 charge cycles bring the range back to normal.

3. Do climate and temperature affect driving range?

Yes. Discharging is a chemical process: at higher temperature the reaction is faster and the capacity is larger, and vice versa. So the winter driving range is shorter than in summer.

4. Does long-term short-distance riding reduce capacity?

Yes. It is recommended to perform a deep discharge every 2-3 months: discharge on flat ground until the under-voltage protection and indicator light come on. This can activate the battery and expand its capacity.

5. When capacity falls below 70% the battery life ends. Can maintenance extend it?

For sulfation caused by electrolyte shortage or insufficient charging, proper maintenance can extend battery life: replenishing electrolyte and then applying a high-voltage pulse depolarization method can improve the capacity. However, end of life caused by grid corrosion, softening and shedding of active material, short circuits or open circuits cannot be restored by maintenance.

How long a battery lasts depends on how you use it and which battery you choose. It is recommended to choose high-quality brand batteries with good reputations, such as Xupai batteries. Xupai batteries are of excellent quality with good service; its sales, customer service, technical support and maintenance systems are well established and provide consumers with better after-sales service.
