How to properly maintain polymer lithium-ion batteries to extend their service life?
Publish Time: 2024-12-30
As the core energy source of modern electronic devices, the performance and life of polymer lithium-ion batteries are directly related to the user experience. In order to maximize the service life of the battery, the correct maintenance method is essential.First, avoiding overcharging and over-discharging is the key to maintaining polymer lithium-ion batteries. Overcharging will cause the internal pressure of the battery to increase, which may cause safety problems; while over-discharging may cause the battery to fall into a deep discharge state, damage the battery structure and shorten the life. Therefore, it is recommended to use the original charger and follow the manufacturer's recommended charging time, while avoiding completely draining the battery.Secondly, maintaining a suitable operating temperature is also an important factor in extending battery life. Polymer lithium-ion batteries will accelerate battery aging when operating at too high or too low temperatures. Therefore, when using electronic devices, you should avoid long-term exposure to extreme temperature environments, such as under the scorching sun or in the cold outdoors.In addition, regular battery calibration is also part of the maintenance process. Calibrating the battery can help the system understand the actual battery power more accurately and avoid over-discharge caused by inaccurate power display. The calibration method usually includes the process of fully charging the battery, using it until it automatically shuts down, and then fully charging it again. But please note that frequent calibration is not necessary and should be performed according to battery usage and manufacturer recommendations.Finally, care should be taken when storing batteries. Batteries that are not used for a long time should be kept in a half-charged state and charged regularly to maintain battery activity. At the same time, batteries should be stored in a dry, cool, ventilated place, away from direct sunlight and high temperature environments.In summary, the correct maintenance of polymer lithium-ion batteries requires us to start from multiple aspects such as charging, discharging, operating temperature, calibration, and storage. Only by following scientific maintenance methods can we maximize the service life of the battery and provide long-lasting and stable energy support for our electronic devices.
