When is Best to Recharge EV Batteries?
by Judith
Is it better to recharge frequently after each use or to wait till the charge is low? Hi, Judith! That depends on the batteries you have in your electric vehicle. Lead acid batteries prefer to stay topped up. Lithium batteries also prefer to stay topped up. "Smart" batteries, according to "Battery University", can benefit from a full charge/discharge cycle every so often - but this is only so the state of charge meter is more accurate. It doesn't affect the actual charge the battery will take. The only battery chemistry that will build up a memory over time if not fully discharged occasionally is Ni-Cd. Regards, Lynne
