How to maintain lithium batteries to facilitate the use of batteries?

Lithium batteries will have a service life of 2-3 years. It depends on the usage habits and environment. Of course, lithium batteries also need maintenance. Here are a few suggestions, I hope they can help you:

1. Please avoid operations that exceed the limits specified in the instruction manual.

1) Temperature: When using lithium batteries, the ambient temperature must be considered, which is stated in the battery instruction manual/specification book. If the operating temperature range is exceeded, the battery charge will continue to decrease and the power supply time will be significantly shortened. Charging the battery at this temperature will damage the battery even more. Even storing batteries at higher/lower temperatures cannot avoid damage to battery quality. Therefore, trying to operate/storage batteries at a suitable temperature is a good way to extend the life of lithium batteries.

2) Use: It is often said that life lies in movement. Lithium batteries mainly work by the movement between the positive and negative electrodes. During the charge and discharge process, Li+ intercalates and deintercalates back and forth between the two electrodes: during charging, Li+ is deintercalated from the positive electrode and embedded in the negative electrode through the electrolyte, and the negative electrode is in a lithium-rich state; during discharge, the opposite is true.

In order to give full play to the performance of lithium batteries, we need to use them frequently to keep the electrons in motion. When using a lithium battery, it should be allowed to complete a charging cycle, that is, charge and discharge once. Manufacturers often remind us that if the battery is not used for a long time and is in a static state, the lithium battery should be charged and discharged every three months.

2. Avoid charging at too low/high temperature
When using lithium batteries in low/high temperature environments, you will find that the use time will be shortened, and some batteries cannot even be charged in low temperature environments. But don't worry too much, this is only a temporary situation. When the temperature rises to a certain level, the molecules in the battery will immediately return to their previous capacity after being heated.

3. Frequent use
Movement is vital to life. If you want to get the most out of a lithium-ion battery, you need to use it regularly to keep the electrons flowing. If the battery is not used frequently, please remember to complete a charging cycle every month and perform a power calibration, that is, deep discharge and deep charging.

4. Avoid deep discharge
Try to avoid using the battery with a very low charge, as deep discharge may have a negative impact on the battery's lifespan. When the battery power is 20%-30% left, it should be charged in time.

5. Avoid use in high temperature environments
The use of lithium batteries in high temperature environments may have an impact on the battery life. Therefore, try to avoid using lithium battery-powered products in high temperature environments. If it must be used in a high temperature environment, some measures should be taken to reduce the temperature, such as using a cooling fan or placing the product in a cool place.

6. Avoid use in humid environment
Humid environments may have a negative impact on the life of lithium batteries, so try to avoid using lithium battery-powered products in humid environments. If it must be used in a humid environment, some measures should be taken to prevent moisture from entering the inside of the battery, such as using a waterproof case or placing the product in a dry place.

7. Perform regular maintenance
Regular maintenance of lithium batteries is very important, including cleaning the battery surface, checking whether the battery connection is firm, checking the battery voltage and power, etc. These measures can help extend the life of lithium batteries and ensure the normal operation of the product.

In short, the correct use and maintenance of lithium batteries can effectively extend their life and improve product performance and reliability. We should pay attention to avoid deep discharge, use in high temperature and humid environments, and perform regular maintenance.
