What are High Rate Lithium Batteries? There are Ways to Charge High Rate Batteries

   With the development of science and technology, high rate lithium battery products have now become all kinds of large rate electronic products. High rate lithium batteries are generally able to fully charge and discharge 500 to 800 cycles

1. Charging Method

   The life of high rate lithium battery has nothing to do with the number of times of charging and discharging, it has no memory effect, no matter how you charge, will not affect the number of charging cycles. Therefore, do not use the battery to a completely dead battery to charge, it is best when you can charge, try to charge the battery full, charging time to 2-3 hours or less is appropriate, of course, you do not have to be full, to do shallow charging and discharging.

2. Charging Voltage

   The safe working voltage range of high rate lithium battery is 2.8V to 4.2V, below or above this voltage range, the lithium ion in the battery becomes unstable. In order to ensure that the battery is in the safe range, therefore, a specialized charger is required. These chargers automatically adjust the charging method according to the current state of the battery.

3. Charging Tools

   High rate lithium battery charging requires a specialized charger, which can guarantee the safety of charging. When the charger works, it charges the battery with a constant current, and as the battery voltage rises, the charger increases the charging voltage at the same time to accelerate the charging speed. When the battery reaches 4.2V cut-off voltage, the battery is only about 70% of the charge (not full). At this point, the charger that is a constant voltage, gradually become smaller current to continue charging the battery, when the value to less than 0.1A charging is still detected when the battery voltage continues to rise before stopping charging.

4. Regular Charging

   Long-term use of high rate lithium batteries, should be half-charged state, stored in a cool and dry place. Storing with full charge will damage the battery, while storing without charge, the battery may be damaged, thus losing its function. During storage, every 3~6 months, complete a charging cycle and do a power calibration.

   Generally new high rate lithium batteries need to be activated, after the battery has been placed for a period of time, it will enter a dormant state, at this time the capacity is lower than the normal value, and the use of time is also shortened, so it needs to be activated. The activation method of lithium battery is very simple, as long as after 3~5 times of normal charging and discharging cycles can activate the battery and restore the normal capacity.
