Is it safe to change lead-acid batteries for electric scooters to lithium batteries?

addtime:2021-07-27  click:
With the widespread popularity of national standard vehicles, the utilization rate of lithium batteries has also risen steadily. Compared with lead-acid batteries, lithium batteries have longer life, smaller size, lighter weight and environmental protection, and better power experience, so more and more consumption The first choice! However, is it really easy to explode if the original electric scooter with lead-acid battery is modified with lithium battery?
 
In fact, from a technical point of view, it is possible to change lead-acid electric scooters to lithium batteries, but you must find professional electric scooters for professional treatment.
 
But if you must refit, then 4 precautions must be kept in mind!
 
1. Pay attention to the size. The battery compartment of the electric scooter fits the size of the lead-acid battery. If you replace it with a lithium battery, pay attention to the volume of the lithium battery. Otherwise, if the gap is too large after installation, it is easy to cause the small battery inside to shake and reduce the life span.

2. The charger is matched. Because the charging methods of lead-acid and lithium batteries are different, the chargers of the two batteries are not universal, so you must choose a special charger for lithium batteries.
 
3. The voltage is the same. If the lead-acid battery is replaced with a lithium battery, it must also be considered that its voltage must remain the same as the original lead-acid battery, but the capacity can be increased and the battery life will be longer.
 
4. Choose a big brand lithium battery. At present, the quality of lithium batteries on the market is uneven, and the safety performance is worrying, and there are tragedies caused by lithium battery explosions from time to time! Therefore, it is recommended that experts not only do not choose miscellaneous brand lithium batteries to operate, but also do not make lithium batteries through private purchase of battery cells. The quality of such products is even more insecure and harms others!
 
Finally, I remind everyone not to modify it privately, which will not only affect the performance of the lithium battery, but even bury potential safety hazards. If the lithium battery is improperly installed or there is any quality problem, the controller may be burned out, and a short circuit may cause an explosion!
