What is the standard charging voltage of 3.7v lithium battery

What is the standard charging voltage for 3.7v lithium batteries? 3.7V lithium batteries should be charged with what standard voltage, single 18650 lithium-ion batteries are usually used in radios or flashlights, to charge some of the batteries without protection plates, you need to control the charging voltage standard.


For 3.7V batteries, the charge cutoff voltage is 4.2V and the discharge cutoff voltage is 3.0V, so when the battery open circuit voltage is below 3.6V, it should be ready for charging. It is better to use 4.2V constant voltage charging mode, you can not pay attention to the charging time. Charging with 5V is prone to dangerous overcharging.


1、Floating charge. Refers to online charging while working. This way is often used in the backup power supply occasions. Lower than 12 volts can not be charged, too high to affect the work of the circuit. Therefore, the floating charge works with a voltage of 13.8 volts.


2、Cycle charging. Refers to the battery to restore the capacity of the full charge, full, constantly open the charger to measure, generally at about 14.5 volts, the highest does not exceed 14.9 volts. After disconnecting the charger for 24 hours, generally at about 13 volts to 13.5 volts. After a week about 12.8 to 12.9 volts. The specific voltage value varies from battery to battery.


A typical lithium battery is 3.7v on its own, 4.2v when filled, and only 7.4v, 11.1v, 14.8v nominal voltage when connected in series... The corresponding full voltage (that is, the charger no-load output voltage) is 8.4v, 12.6v, 16.8v... It is impossible to be 12v integer, just like the lead-acid battery is 2v per interval, full is 2.4v, the corresponding only nominal 6v, 12v, 24v... Full voltage (also the charger output voltage) are 7.2v, 14.4v, 28.8v... I do not know what kind of lithium battery you are?

Charger selection editor


Standard charging: The battery is first charged to 4.2V with a constant current of 0.5C5A (1.5A), and then charged to 4.2V with a constant voltage when the charging current gradually decreases until the current decreases to 0.01C5A, and the charging time is about 3 hours. There should be no permanent damage to the charged battery within 0~45℃.


Standard discharge: After a fully charged 18500 battery is set aside for 30 minutes at an ambient temperature of 20±5℃, it is discharged to 6.0V at a constant current of 0.2C5A, and the discharge time is about 5 hours. Therefore it is suitable to choose 4.2V/1A Li-ion battery charger.
