18650 battery 3.7v 1800mah.Are fast charging and slow charging of lithium-ion batteries the same on the road? Do you understand the difference?

The charging speed of electric vehicles is closely related to the charger power, battery charging characteristics and temperature. Under the current level of battery technology, even fast charging takes 30 minutes to charge to 80% of the battery capacity. After 80% is exceeded, the charging current must be smaller to protect the safety of the battery, and the time to charge to 100% will be longer.

In addition, when the temperature is lower in winter, the battery requires less charging current and the charging time becomes longer.


Fast charging and slow charging of electric vehicles: Why are there two charging modes?


We understand that a car can have two charging interfaces. This is actually because there are two charging modes: constant voltage and constant current. Generally, constant current and then constant voltage are used, so that the charging efficiency is relatively high. The reason why fast charging is fast is due to the difference in charging voltage and current. The larger the current, the faster the charging. When it is almost full, switch to constant voltage, which can prevent the battery from overcharging and also protect the battery.

The charging current and power of slow charging are relatively small, which is better for battery life, and the charging cost is low during low peak power consumption. Fast charging will use larger current and power, which will have a great impact on the battery pack and its lifespan. Fast charging also requires supporting equipment, such as converting AC to DC, which increases the cost.


Fast charging and slow charging of electric vehicles: What should you pay attention to when maintaining electric vehicles in winter?


At present, most vehicles use lithium-ion batteries. At lower temperatures, the performance of lithium-ion batteries will decline to varying degrees, which is manifested as smaller charging currents and discharge currents, and reduced battery capacity. In extreme cold conditions, it may even fail to charge. Driving a vehicle in winter will use warm air, which increases the vehicle's power consumption and reduces the vehicle's driving range.


When using an electric vehicle in winter, it is normal for the charging time to become longer and the vehicle's driving range to become shorter. During use, the vehicle should be charged immediately after it is stopped. The residual temperature of the battery can be used to charge faster; when planning a trip, full consideration should be given to the reduced driving range of the vehicle in winter.
