How to use lithium batteries correctly

How to use lithium batteries correctly?


Lithium battery has become a more and more popular energy storage and conversion equipment due to its good electrochemical performance. It can realize small-scale -- medium -- large-scale market application scenarios in time. Therefore, let's talk about the proper use of lithium battery. This approach usually refers to small applications for home devices, such as smartphones and laptops. Because small and medium-sized applications are based on small application technology, they share some characteristics in common, while large characteristics are much more complex. Medium-sized applications are typically used in new energy vehicles, often referred to as power batteries. Large-scale applications are often referred to as energy storage batteries above base stations. So when we talk about "how to use lithium-ion batteries," limiting lithium-ion batteries to small applications is a common understanding.

Lithium-ion batteries work simply to charge stored energy, and the discharge is converted into other energy that is then released. Since it is idle without charging or discharging, there are three main aspects in the correct use of lithium battery: correct charging, correct discharging and correct maintenance.

How do I charge a lithium battery?

Know your time to avoid overcharging. Lithium battery itself has good electrochemical performance, but there are various unbalanced safety risks. Explain in detail

1. Please charge while charging. In the early days of smartphones, every phone manufacturer often emphasized using the original charger (including the charging cable) to charge the charger to protect their interests. Some manufacturers design special data cables but do not support other cables. Charger (with charging cable). Later, as the use of smartphones and laptops became more widespread, it became clear that they would be binding, and now everyone basically has the same standard, chargers/wires that can charge appliances of different brands and capabilities. Charging is very convenient, and one of the problems users need to pay attention to is to keep the battery powered at all times. Under normal conditions, if the power is too low, both your phone and laptop will display a notification message that you need to recharge. Low power does not cause immediate safety accidents, but long-term use can damage the battery structure.

2. Fill it up. The lithium-ion battery unit consists of several components, and the new battery is fine. If it takes a long time, the component may deteriorate and there may be a risk of overcharging the safety. Some of the typical incidents exposed by Samsung and Apple have been fires and explosions caused by device owners charging their phones in bed while they slept.

3. Do not use them together. The authors found that mobile phones get hot when playing games while charging. The reason is simple. The phone performs two tasks at the same time, so you have to work twice as hard and your body naturally heats up. already

How to charge lithium battery correctly and on time to prevent over discharge. Ordinary mobile phone users are usually not aware of the risk of overdischarging because no safety incidents have been reported. In addition, some people believe that regular full discharge is good for maintaining battery performance. This is not true, because the memory effect of lithium-ion batteries can be ignored, and there is no such thing as an atrium to erase the memory effect. Theoretically, lithium-ion batteries have a longer overall cycle life with a full discharge, but overdischarge can cause the battery voltage to be too low to charge properly, and sometimes it can take longer to turn the device on or off. Two drawbacks are the least important, the shorter the service life, the more unusable it will be, so it is not recommended that users of mobile phones and laptops often use black screen.

Proper maintenance of lithium batteries

The temperature is suitable to protect against heat and cold. Lithium-ion batteries generally do not cause safety accidents while they are idle, and the goal of routine maintenance is to place lithium batteries in an appropriate environment to delay battery life. In fact, one of the parameters of lithium-ion battery design is the right temperature, but relatively low temperature is not a big problem, but if placed at higher temperatures, the situation can be reversed, which may lead to safety issues. The idle state we are talking about is only relevant to the normal environment. If the lithium-ion battery is near water or fire, it is no longer within the scope of the "maintenance" topic, so what should you do under normal circumstances? Protect the water side from moisture and heat. Therefore, the appropriate environment for daily maintenance of lithium batteries should be ventilation and heat dissipation. These four words should be followed regardless of whether a lithium battery is used alone or as a backup in an appliance.

Correct use of lithium batteries and the correct charging method is the most important. The wrong charging method can lead to safety problems, discharge and routine maintenance will only affect the life of lithium batteries, and lithium batteries are a kind of battery itself. Consumables will not avoid eventual wear and tear and will delay aging in the right way, no matter what measures are taken.
