How long is the appropriate time to charge lithium batteries for golf carts?
The charging time for the first charge is necessary to ensure the normal operation of the golf cart battery, as it has not undergone charging or discharging before leaving the factory. In general, the charging time should be controlled within 5-6 hours to fully charge the battery. Afterwards, the charging time can be slightly extended until the charger indicator light turns green.
After the first charge, although it cannot be considered as the first charge, the second charge is still considered as a new car charge. At this time, you can let the battery car run out of power and then perform a long charge, which can last for 8-9 or even 10 hours (except for fast charging chargers, which refer to the standard charger for lithium batteries in this article), in order to allow the battery car's chemical reaction to undergo a complete cycle.
When the golf cart battery is charged for the first time, the charger may generate heat quickly and at a high rate. Therefore, especially during summer charging, the charger should not be placed on objects that are prone to heat and combustion, and it is best not to place it on the seat of the electric scooter to prevent ignition.
The golf cart needs to run out of battery before the first charge, but it cannot be used up completely. When buying a new golf cart battery, the battery level will not be too full, but it will not be too low either, unless it is an old or inferior battery. When using it, everyone should estimate the approximate distance that can be operated based on the merchant's estimation, in order to avoid running out of power or using up too much electricity. When the battery level display of the electric scooter reaches the last grid, it is time to consider not riding anymore and to prepare for charging.
