Charging precautions for batteries

Lead acid batteries have a memory effect, which means that if they are frequently charged before being fully discharged, it can lead to a decrease in battery capacity and a shortened range. Therefore, lead-acid batteries need to undergo regular deep discharge and full charge to eliminate memory effects.

Lithium ion batteries, on the other hand, do not have a memory effect and can be charged at any time. However, they cannot be over discharged or over charged, as this can damage the chemical properties and structural stability of the battery, causing capacity degradation or safety hazards.

For lead-acid batteries in stock, it is recommended to perform deep discharge and full charge at regular intervals (such as every two months) to maintain battery capacity. Normally, it is recommended to recharge appropriately as needed, but do not frequently perform small amplitude charging and discharging.

In addition, some lead-acid battery chargers have pulse repair function, but whether lead-acid batteries can be repaired depends on the specific situation. If the appearance of the lead-acid battery is not damaged, does not expand, or shows signs of short circuit or breakage, then such lead-acid batteries can be repaired.

For lithium-ion batteries, it is recommended to recharge them promptly after each use to maintain a high remaining capacity. Don't wait until the battery is running low to fully charge it, and don't keep it at full capacity for a long time. Generally speaking, it is more appropriate to maintain between 50% and 80%.

For fast charging and slow charging, it is recommended to choose according to the actual situation. Fast charging can save time, but it will increase temperature and internal resistance, which will have a certain impact on long-term use. Slow charging can protect the battery, but it takes a longer time. If there is no emergency situation, it is best to choose slow charging.
