01 Will the battery really “get angry” when charging at high temperature?
There are risks, but don’t be afraid! The “heart” of new energy vehicles – the power battery, is very sensitive to temperature. At high temperatures, the internal electrolyte activity of lithium batteries increases greatly, chemical reactions accelerate, and heat accumulation is easy to occur. If the heat cannot be dissipated, it may cause “thermal runaway”. But don’t worry, mainstream electric vehicles are now equipped with a super-powerful battery thermal management system! It is like a 24-hour online “smart butler” that monitors the battery temperature in real time. Once the “body temperature” is found to be too high, the liquid cooling cycle is immediately started to ensure that the battery operates in a safe “comfort zone”. BUT! Don’t be careless! If the system itself fails, or the charging environment is too harsh, the heat may exceed the system’s regulation capacity, and the risk value will rise!
02 High-temperature charging safety “life-saving” guide! Quick collection
(1) Choose a cool charging environment
Preferably, a charging station with a sunshade or a cool underground parking lot. If it is a pure open-air environment, then quickly “put on” a sunshade for your car! Effectively block direct sunlight and reduce the “body temperature” surge.
(2) Say no to “marathon” charging
On hot days, the battery itself is “hot-tempered”, and charging continuously for a long time will be too much of a burden! The smart way is to pause after charging to about 80%-90%! Let the battery “take a break” and recharge it after the temperature drops.
(3) “Physical examination” is essential
Walk around the car before charging to see if there is any damage? Is the charging port dry and clean? Is there any water or foreign objects? Are the charging pile and charging cable damaged or aging? If you find any problems, call the staff immediately!
(4) Don’t “wander” during the charging process
Try not to walk far away while charging! Use the mobile phone APP to “keep an eye” on the charging status and battery temperature at any time. Stop charging immediately if you find any abnormalities! And contact professionals to handle it.
