1. Almost all types of batteries are affected by ambient temperature.
Generally speaking, the discharge performance of the battery is better when the temperature is higher. When the temperature is less than 0 degrees, the battery power may drop by more than 1/3. Therefore, when winter comes or in cold areas, the continued driving and reduction after a single charge are normal. When riding in winter, please try to use full pedal assistance, so that your body can be exercised and your legs and feet can be exercised. Frozen parts also help to extend the service life of the battery (because the low temperature reduces the capacity of the battery, the same riding distance, the depth of discharge increases).
When the temperature rises above 20 degrees, its function is restored naturally. However, when the temperature exceeds 60 degrees (for example, the exposure time is too long in summer), it may affect the normal use of the car's electrical appliances.
2. Not afraid of rain and snow but can't wading.
Most of the electric bicycles of professional electric bicycles manufacturers have undergone "spray" experiments before they leave the factory. Not afraid of rain and snow but can't wading. When the water level floods the controller, wire circuit or motor hub, it will cause a short circuit and damage the electrical appliances; please do not park the electric car for a long time in the rain on rainy days, it may cause rainwater to penetrate into the vital parts of the electrical appliances. Please pay attention!
3. Main points of maintenance of electric bicycle battery
Lead batteries used in electric bicycles are consumables, and their life span is only 1.5 to 2.5 years. The life span has a great relationship with the user's daily use and maintenance. Generally speaking, pay attention to the following points:
① The smaller the depth of discharge of the battery each time, the longer the life pulse of the battery. Therefore, no matter how large a battery pack is used, the user should develop a good habit of charging as soon as it is used.
②When the battery needs to be stored for a long time, the heart must be fully charged and recharged regularly, usually every 1 to 2 months.
③High-current discharge will damage the battery to a certain extent, so please use your pedals to help when starting and going uphill.
4. Try to use the brands of major manufacturers as far as possible
Since the electric vehicle is a battery used in series, the battery must be strictly selected to ensure the consistency of each battery to ensure the performance of the entire battery pack. Otherwise, the battery with the poorer performance in the battery pack will quickly deplete, and the consequence is that your car may have been riding for 3 or 4 months, so it is time to change the battery.
Testing the consistency of the battery requires a relatively expensive set of equipment. Generally, small manufacturers do not have these conditions. Therefore, if you do not understand the battery technology of electric bicycles, you should buy brand-name products from large manufacturers as much as possible.
5. Pay attention to the "reputation mark"
In order to promote the healthy and orderly development of my country's electric bicycles and safeguard the legitimate rights and interests of the consumer capital, the China Bicycle Association has launched the "Credit Mark" product. The "Credit Mark" has been registered by the State Administration for Industry and Commerce, and the products affixed with this mark indicate that their quality has reached national standards. Currently, the four brands that have obtained the "Credit Mark" are Nanjing "Mainland Pigeon", Suzhou "Little Antelope", Shanghai "Qianhe", and Chengdu "Bite".
6. Do not use non-manufacturer chargers.
Don't use chargers and other accessories that are not specified by the manufacturer. If an accident occurs due to this, the general electric vehicle manufacturer is not responsible.
7. Don't bring heavy objects
Most electric bicycles have a load capacity of 75-100 kg, so please do not bring people and heavy objects. At the same time, electric bicycles are not suitable for driving on uneven or steep roads. If you encounter such roads, please get out of the car.
