Lithium
batteries are presently the most commonly used energy storage devices on mobile
phones, laptops, digital cameras and other electric devices. Learning how to
maintain lithium batteries can not only prolong battery lifetime but also
protect your device from potential damage.
Here
attached the steps for your reference.
1.Use
appropriate chargers. Many people take great care with their
electronic gadgets, but often neglect the consequences of bad chargers on their
lithium ion batteries. When choosing a charger, the original charger is the
best choice. If that's unavailable, a high quality charger that has an
overcharge protection function, or a brand name charger will do. A low quality
battery charger can lead to shorter run times, premature battery failure, or
even fire or explosion.
2.Avoid
frequently over charging. Over charging with a low quality charger
may let the battery's interior rise to a high temperature, which is bad for the
lithium ion battery and charger. Thus, simply fully charging is good enough -
overcharging will make your lithium battery into a little bomb if overcharge
protection function is missing.
3.Avoid touching
metal contacts. All batteries' contacts need to be kept clean for
best performance. When carrying batteries around, do not let the contacts touch
metal objects such as keys; this could cause a short circuit, damaging the
battery or potentially resulting in a fire or an explosion.
4.Avoid using
often in high or low temperature environments. Lithium ion
batteries have optimal working and storage temperatures. If they're continually
used in extreme temperature environments, this will negatively affect battery
use time and useful cycles.
5.Avoid long
periods without using or recharging. If batteries
will be left unused for 3 months or more, partially recharge them, then store
the device to prevent battery damage. You may need to take the device out of
storage and charge again after a few months.
6.Avoid using
lithium ion batteries which are hot after being fully charged. Temperatures
can be very high when batteries are freshly recharged. If you use them
immediately, the electronic gadget’s internal temperature will rise, which may
negatively affect the device's electronic components.
