Most good battery chargers are automatic and will stop charging when the battery is fully charged. But if the charger is a manual charger it can overcharge the battery. With this type charger it is up to you to remove the charger when the battery is fully charged. Normally this is based on the amount of time the charger takes to charge the battery pack. Operators manual will list the time.
Most definitely you can ruin it. Always charge an auto battery with an automatic charger that shuts down when the battery if fully charged.
Charging an e-bike at an electric vehicle (EV) station should not inherently shorten the battery life, as long as the charging equipment is compatible with the e-bike's battery specifications. However, frequent fast charging or using a charger with a higher voltage than recommended can potentially degrade the battery over time. It is essential to follow the manufacturer's guidelines for charging to ensure optimal battery health and longevity.
there is a sensor on the back of the battery sleeve that wraps around the battery. it takes the temp of the battery to check for low or over charging.
One thing you have to be careful about with AEG's is how long you charge your battery. I don't know the answer but I am going to suggest a basic smart charger that will stop charging the battery once it is at max. A basic Smart Charger goes for about $20 but it is better than over charging a battery and breaking it.
Charging or over-charging
Battery chargers generally operate at the same voltage as the voltage as the battery they are charging. They usually vary the amperage they feed into the battery to recharge it. A trickle charger usually only feeds a few amps into a battery to recharge it slowly over time. A fast charger feeds more amps for less time to bring the battery to full charge faster. Automotive alternators are the only charging systems that I am familiar with that generate more voltage than the battery they are charging. That's because they have to run the car AND recharge the battery at the same time. Car alternators can vary their amperage and voltage outputs to allow for the varying demands of the car and all of it's electrical devices and recharge the battery as needed.
The alternator is over charging. you need to have the charging sytem checked.
The charging system may be over charging the battery. Over charging the battery can speed up the evaporation process. Have the electrical system tested.
It takes about 6 hours to charge a 7.4 volt battery when using a 5 volt charge. For the best results try charging it over night.
It's generally not advisable to leave your golf cart battery charger plugged in all the time. While some modern chargers have automatic shut-off features that prevent overcharging, continuous charging can still lead to battery damage over time. It's best to charge your batteries as needed and unplug the charger once they are fully charged to maximize battery lifespan. Always consult your charger and battery manufacturer's guidelines for the best practices.
Batteries and chargers are matched to each other. You cannot arbitrarily choose a different battery or charger without running the risk of over or under charging, particularly with NiCad batteries, but also for any battery. Best is to consult the manufacturer and pick an exact replacement, or an authoirzed substitute.
Installing a Tesla Model 3 home charger can provide faster charging times, convenience of charging at home, potential cost savings compared to public charging stations, and increased control over charging schedule.
