Charge ahead with Ultra Thin Lithium Polymer Battery

by PHD Energy Energy Solution

There is no dearth of gadgets that require batteries to run. Usually Lithium Ion batteries are used for this purpose. You can use them in your notebook, phone or tablet and continue enjoying uninterrupted work and entertainment on these devices. If you wish to use these batteries for a long time and make its optimal utilization, following tips can help you a lot.

Understand the recharge cycle of the batteries

It is imperative to understand that curved Lithium polymer battery’s recharge cycle is finite. Thus, in layman’s language, the battery would be of no use after it has completed its maximum number of cycles. It will be worthless and any of the devices would not be powered anymore. Usually, after crossing 500 cycles, the battery loses 20 percent of its power.

This, if you are looking forward to optimize the battery life, you will have to avoid unnecessary charging or discharging cycles of your battery. In fact, the battery must workout once in a while to ensure its lifespan.

Full versus partial discharge

As per some experts, fast charge lithium ion battery must not be allowed to completely exhaust before it needs a recharge. Although there is a discharge system in these batteries which makes this fact redundant. The system is regulated by on-board circuits.

Correct Charger

Many people commit this mistake when they tend to use one charger to charge more than one and different type of devices. It may be quite convenient, but in the longer run, it is not recommended as it may affect the devices negatively. There is always a right charger for the right device and it should be used in a proper way to recharge the battery. This way, devices as well as batteries could be used for a long time to come. In case you are looking forward to make use of third party charger, it is important that it is genuine and is bought from a reputed seller. If possible, buy an original charger as it will also ensure the safety of the users and the battery.

 

Temperature

When recharging your ultra thin Lithium ion polymer battery, care should be taken that it is recharged at a perfect room temperature. It should be around 20 degree Celsius. Since, our homes are not climate controlled, the upper limit of temperature for recharging these batteries must not exceed above 45 degrees Celsius. The battery life reduces significantly if the temperature is more than this limit. Similarly, the lower temperature limit for recharging these batteries must not drop less than 5 centigrade.

Be very careful when handling these batteries as dropping them frequently can damage them and leakage of corrosive chemicals can be triggered, so due diligence is necessary.

 

Summary- When buying Lithium Ion batteries, there are certain do’s and don’t’s that should be kept in mind for its durable use.
