When you ride an electric scooter, you will always find that the battery breaks quickly and the frequency of replacement is extremely high. So what causes it? Today PXID will take you to understand the reasons for damage to the battery of an electric scooter, as well as several tips for using the battery.
Plate vulcanization
Due to insufficient charging voltage, it is impossible to convert all lead sulfate into lead oxide, causing lead sulfate to crystallize and salt on the negative plate, thereby affecting battery performance. This lead sulfate has poor conductivity, high resistance, low solubility and dissolution rate, and difficulty in recovery during charging, which is the cause of reduced capacity and shortened life.
Lead-acid battery loses water
Water loss is one of the basic reasons for the decrease in battery capacity. Most electric scooters use lead-acid batteries. Many users will say that this kind of battery is sealed. Why is there still water loss? In fact, the reason is very simple. Water is an important component that participates in the electrolysis reaction of the battery. During the charging process, when the battery voltage reaches a certain height, the water in the electrolyte will electrolyze into hydrogen and oxygen, but the hydrogen and oxygen cannot recombine into water. , Over time, the battery will experience problems such as a decrease in capacity due to loss of water.
Lost power storage
Loss of power is a phenomenon that damages the battery plate caused by forced over-discharge when the battery power is insufficient and the voltage is low. When the voltage drops, the user is still using the electric scooter, and the battery fails to provide the normal voltage, and there will be a loss of power. The frequent loss of power will gradually peel off the lead layer of the battery plate until the plate is damaged.
So how should the battery be used correctly? PXID gives several suggestions: It is best to charge in a dry, ventilated, and no direct sunlight environment; do not charge immediately after riding, wait at least about 10 minutes, wait for the battery to cool down before charging; do not mix chargers. Electric scooters are of different brands and models, so the charger and battery models are also different. If the charger is mixed, it will not only damage the battery, but also bury potential safety hazards.
