Battery is considered the most indispensable part of electric cars, providing a power source to ensure the operation of all other systems. Therefore, the rapid consumption of electric car batteries is a serious problem that makes electric car users very worried.
Here are the reasons why electric car batteries consume quickly:
Starting the " camping" regime
Some electric car lines are currently equipped with a " camping" mode. This is a utility that helps electric car riders enjoy a comfortable feeling when they can still use entertainment and air conditioning features even if the car has turned off the engine and the door is locked.
However, in case of leaving the car overnight in " camping" mode, the car battery will consume about 7 - 10%, depending on the conditions and time of use. Therefore, electric vehicle drivers should turn off the " camping" mode when not in use.
Forget to turn off the lights
One of the common causes of rapid wear and tear on electric car batteries is forgetting not to turn off the lights. In fact, some electric car lines have integrated the feature of automatically turning off headlights after a certain period of time. For electric cars without this feature, headlights will be turned on until the owner is turned off or the battery is completely depleted. Therefore, electric car users should note to turn off all types of lights before leaving the car.
No removal of safety ropes
Some users have the habit of locking fake seat belts or wearing safety belts behind to deceive the vehicle's warning system. This not only endangers electric vehicle users but also causes battery drain even when the vehicle is not moving.
Accordingly, when the safety belt is still activated, it will be impossible to turn off the engine and lock the vehicle. At this time, some systems on the vehicle were still operating. Therefore, parking overnight will still consume the high-voltage battery system of electric vehicles.
contact points for rusty or loose electric vehicle batteries
The contact points at both ends of the electric car battery may become loose or eroded after a long period of use. At that time, the power source from the battery cannot be transmitted to the systems for operation, which can even cause a stall. Therefore, vehicle owners need to regularly clean the positive, negative and contact points at both ends of the battery.
Too hot or too cold weather
After a period of use, the battery quality of electric cars will decrease. If operated in conditions that are too hot or too cold, it can impair the performance of electric vehicle batteries.
