Many car owners and wholesalers have a common question when buying starting power supplies: How many years can a starting power supply last? This article will show you the service life of a starting power supply and how to extend its service life.
How long is the life of a starting power supply?
Generally speaking, most high-quality starting power supplies, especially those using lithium batteries, have a service life of about 3-5 years.
The following factors determine the service life of a starting power supply
1. Battery quality
The core component of a starting power supply is the battery, and the quality of the battery directly determines the service life of the starting power supply.
2. Frequency of use
If you often use a starting power supply to start your vehicle, the battery life will be consumed faster.
3. Ambient temperature
High temperatures can accelerate the chemical reaction inside the battery, thereby affecting the battery's performance. A cold environment may cause the battery power to not be released normally.
4. Charging method
Overcharging or frequent over-discharging can damage the battery. Therefore, the correct charging method is very important.
How to extend the service life of a starting power supply?
1. Charge regularly
Even if you don't use the starting power supply frequently, you should charge it regularly. It is recommended to charge it at least once every 3 months and keep the battery power between 50%-70%.
2. Avoid high and extremely low temperature environments
Avoid placing the starting power supply in hot or cold places, such as a hot car or cold outdoor environment.
3. Charge promptly after use
After each use, you should try to charge it in time to avoid the battery being in a low power state for a long time.
4. Proper storage
When not in use, it is best to store the starting power supply in a dry, warm place, away from moisture and extreme temperatures to avoid damaging the battery.
The correct storage method can extend the service life of the starting power supply.
