CHARGE BATTERY
Charging instructions lithium batteries
Lithium batteries should never be deep discharged, this will irreparably damage the lithium cells.
All lithium batteries should (if possible) always be stored at medium charge. If a battery is not
needed for a long time, please do not fully charge it beforehand - this puts the lithium cells in
unnecessary „stress" which can lead to a shortened life span in the long run. If you have a choice
when using the battery, we recommend in principle not to fully charge it, but always to use it in
the medium voltage range. Of course, the battery can be fully charged to drive long distances,
for example - it's just technically best for a lithium battery not to do this in order to really get the
maximum performance and lifespan out of the battery.
Lithium battery life is expressed in charge cycles. Don't think you are „wasting" many charge cyc-
les by recharging the lithium battery more often even though it is not „drained" - this is comple-
tely wrong! The indicated lifetime in charging cycles means so-called full cycles. This means that
if you discharge your battery 50% and then fully charge it again, this corresponds to ½ charging
cycle. Charging twice corresponds to one full cycle.
We recommend recharging a lithium battery at 25% residual charge up to approx. 75% charge
level. For long distances, however, the battery can of course be fully charged - see above.
During wintering or long storage of vehicles with lithium batteries, it is imperative to recharge
them at least once a month to approx. 60 %.
For lithium batteries, use only the chargers approved and recommended by the manufacturer.
Charging with too high a charging current in order to be able to charge faster can irreparably
damage the lithium cells and, in the worst case, even lead to a fire.
