Why some Jetfly electric surfboard models require special calibration procedures
May 15,2024 | JetFly
Some Jetfly electric surfboard models require special calibration procedures, mainly due to the following technical reasons:
Compatibility of battery and electronic control system:
As electric surfboard technology continues to advance, new generations of batteries may use more advanced chemical materials or circuit designs. These new technologies may require special synchronization or configuration with the surfboard's electronic control system. For example, new batteries may have different voltage output characteristics, or support higher power output, and these changes require corresponding adjustments in the electronic control system to take full advantage.
Battery Management System (BMS) upgrades:
The battery management system is a key component responsible for monitoring battery status, controlling the charging and discharging process, and protecting the battery from damage such as overcharge or overdischarge. With the development of battery technology, BMS is constantly being upgraded to adapt to the management needs of new batteries. After replacing a new battery, the BMS may need to be reprogrammed or calibrated to ensure that it can properly monitor and manage the working status of the new battery.
Retention of user personalized settings:
When using an electric surfboard, users may adjust a series of parameters according to their own preferences, such as acceleration mode, cruising speed, etc. These setting information are usually stored in the electronic control system. When replacing a new battery, in order to ensure that the user's personalized settings are not lost, specific calibration procedures may be required to restore these settings.
Software and firmware updates:
As battery technology updates, there may be updates to surfboard software or firmware to optimize battery performance and improve system stability. These updates may need to be completed through a calibration process to ensure software compatibility with the new battery and that all features are working properly.
Security considerations:
Safety is always the primary consideration in electric surfboard design. Special calibration procedures ensure that new batteries can operate safely after installation, avoiding safety risks caused by mismatched batteries or improperly configured electronic control systems.
Manufacturer's quality control:
Through special calibration procedures, manufacturers can ensure that each electric surfboard after replacing the battery has undergone strict quality control, meets factory standards, and provides users with a consistent experience.
In short, the special calibration procedure is an important step for Jetfly electric surfboards to adapt to new battery technology, ensure user experience, ensure equipment safety and improve system performance.
