What are the main factors affecting battery life? 3 things you must know.
There are different reason affecting battery cycle life. Here we peak up some Main reasons to explain. So you can have a better understanding and how to take care of your batteries.
Charge the battery:
When selecting a charger, it is best to use a charger with the correct termination charging device (e.g. anti-overcharge, negative voltage differential (-dV) cut-off charging and anti-overheating sensing) to prevent the battery shorten circle-life due to overcharge. In general, slow charging extends battery life more than faster charging. So, we suggest charging a battery with small current go gain longer life cycles.
Discharge:
The depth of discharge is the main factor affecting battery life cycles, and the higher the depth of discharge, the shorter the battery life. In other words, reducing the depth of discharge can significantly extend the battery life. Because
For this reason, we should avoid over-setting the battery to very low voltages.
- When the battery is discharged at high temperatures, it shortens the life of the battery.
- If the design of electronic equipment can not completely stop all current, if the equipment is put on hold for a long time, without removing the battery, its residual current will sometimes cause the battery to be excessively consumed, resulting in excessive discharge of the battery.
- When a battery with different electrical capacity, chemical structure or different charging levels is mixed, and a battery of different ages and sizes, the battery will also discharge too much, and may even cause anti-polar charging.
Storage:
If the battery is stored at high temperatures for a long time, it will attenuate its electrode activity and shorten its service life.
