How to Care for Your Audi EV Battery

Audi EV owners enjoy reduced maintenance needs, but you’ll still need to care for certain parts such as your Audi battery, which is an especially crucial component. To get the most out of your vehicle, you’ll need to preserve your battery with the appropriate care. Audi Gilbert is sharing tips for how to care for your Audi EV battery and even improve its lifespan.  

Monitor Your Charge Level

While 100 percent is typically optimal, that isn’t the case for an EV battery. Keeping your battery fully charged all the time can actually cause it to degrade faster. On the other hand, it’s also important to not let your battery charge get too low. Ideally, it shouldn’t ever be below 20 percent or above 80 percent.

Avoid High Temperatures

Heat can be a major strain on your EV battery. In fact, Audi EVs have an automated temperature control system, which can drain your battery in order to keep the temperatures down. When possible, park your EV in the shade, or keep it plugged in, so the battery isn’t being drained in the sun.

Limit Fast Charging

Fast charging is certainly a convenient option and, sometimes, it’s a necessity. However, it’s best to not make it a regular routine. Fast charging, also known as DC (direct current) fast charging, can diminish your battery life much faster than standard charging, so try to charge at home whenever possible.

Schedule Routine Maintenance

One of the biggest perks of driving an EV is how simple they are to maintain. While they require much less maintenance than a gasoline-powered vehicle, they still require routine maintenance. During battery maintenance, our technicians will test your battery and visually inspect it.
