Tips for prolonging Li-ion batteries

How to prolong battey life of li-ion batteries

The researches occurring in battery world is concentrating on lithium technologies and in that li-ion takes the top position. Li-ion batteries are not fully matured yet and lot of studies are going on behind, and is still improving. Lithium ion batteries are now powering satellites! It has become one of the best battery chemistry for power systems.

Each battery systems has its own unique needs, such as

Charging speed

Discharge rate

Tolerance in adverse temperatures

Reasons for ageing of li-ion

The battery performance is measured as its capacity, which is a health indicator. A li-ion battery may misbehave in its allotted time be due to heavy use or unfavorable temperature conditions. In the case of battery packs, they do not die suddenly, but the runtime gradually shortens as the capacity fades. The worst situations the li-ion battery can face is keeping it in high temperatures with full-charge.

Do’s and Don’ts in handling li-ion batteries

Best way to charge:

Partial and random charge is fine; does not need full charge

Charging Methods:

Battery can stay in charger. Rapid charge-3h Fast charge-1h

Discharge rate:

Prevent full cycles, apply some charge after a full discharge to keep the protection circuit alive.

For prolonging battery life:

Keep cool, Prevent ultra-fast charging and high loads 

While transporting:

Must be shipped at 30% state-of-charge.

How to store:

Store at 40% charge in cool place

The wonderful thing about li-ion batteries is that, it’s less toxic, can be recycled and  disposed in low volumes causing less harm to environment.
