How to Make Lithium Battery Packs Last Longer?

   How to make lithium battery packs last longer? How to use lithium battery pack more safely? How to maintain the lithium battery pack? Lithium battery pack is a class of lithium metal or lithium alloy for the anode material, the use of non-aqueous electrolyte solution of the battery, is the secondary battery technology in the highest energy density, the best overall performance of the battery.

1. Charging

   Choose the appropriate charger: choose the power to match the charger, can make the lithium battery pack charging more stable, less prone to accidents.

   Do not overcharge: lithium battery packs do not have a memory effect, do not need to overcharge to activate the battery, and do not need to overcharge to memorize the highest capacity of the battery. Although most lithium battery pack chargers have charge protection or this aspect of the guarantee, but just in case or to develop good charging habits more conducive to the extension of the life of lithium batteries.

2. Discharging

   In addition to not overcharging, excessive discharge is also undesirable. As the anode needs to maintain a certain amount of lithium ions in order to maintain the stability of the structure, over-discharge so that more lithium ions migrate out, destroying the stable structure of the anode, resulting in irreversible damage to the anode.

3. Temperature environment

   Charging environment temperature: the best charging environment for lithium batteries is 5 to 45 degrees Celsius. Although 0 to 5 degrees Celsius can still be charged normally, but the charging current needs to be relatively (5 to 45 degrees Celsius environment) to reduce, in order to maximize the maintenance of battery life.

   Charging at high temperatures or above 45 degrees Celsius will reduce battery performance and even degrade the electrolyte within the battery. Low temperatures or below 0 degrees Celsius will cause an increase in internal resistance, resulting in longer charging times. In addition, when charging below 0 degrees Celsius, the battery will be in a sub-freezing condition, which will cause irreversible damage to the battery.

4. Storage and maintenance

   Lithium batteries can be stored in a clean, dry, ventilated environment at a temperature of -5 to 35 ℃, relative humidity of not more than 75%, should avoid contact with corrosive substances, away from sources of ignition and heat, do not place in direct sunlight.

5. Lithium battery packs do not mix the battery with metal objects, so as to avoid metal objects touching the battery positive and negative poles, resulting in a short circuit, damage to the battery or even cause danger.

6. Lithium batteries do not knock, pinch, step on, modify, solarization of the battery, do not place the battery in the microwave, high pressure and other environments.

7. The use of regular matching lithium battery charger to charge the battery, do not use poor quality or other types of battery charger to charge the lithium battery.

Lithium battery itself is also a consumable, no matter what approach we take can not avoid its eventual depletion, just we use the right method to slow down its aging. Lithium battery packs have many advantages such as high volume to energy ratio, small size, light weight, high operating voltage, no memory effect (can be charged at any time and removed at any time to use), environmentally friendly and non-polluting, and so on, it is the most advanced battery at present.
