6 Frequently Asked Questions about “Lithium battery constant voltage discharge”

How to charge a lithium ion battery?

When the cells are assembled as a battery pack for an application, they must be charged using a constant current and constant voltage (CC-CV) method. Hence, a CC-CV charger is highly recommended for Lithium-ion batteries. The CC-CV method starts with constant charging while the battery pack's voltage rises.

How to determine the discharge capacity of lithium batteries?

The area of the lithium battery discharge curve is proportional to the discharge time. Therefore, the discharge capacity of lithium batteries can be evaluated by calculating the area under the curve. The discharge capacity of lithium batteries directly affects the usage time and endurance of lithium batteries.

Do charging and discharging characteristics of lithium batteries affect the operating stability?

Therefore, the charging and discharging characteristics of lithium batteries have a direct impact on the operating stability of such electronic products [1, 2, 3]. Taking intelligent sensor as an example, the effective detection of charging and discharging characteristics of lithium battery can provide guarantee for its reliable operation.

How does discharge current affect battery capacity?

An increase in the discharge current of the battery may decrease the effective capacity due to a decline of the reactivity of the battery's active materials. Mathematically, this is expressed as: where P is the Peukert constant, i is current and K is a constant.

What happens if a CC discharge is less than a battery voltage?

If you use constant voltage less than the battery voltage the only thing limiting the current is the battery resistance. That, being small, means the initial current is very high and uncontrolled. This will result in overheating and potential fire/explosion. The whole point of CC discharge is to limit that heating effect. Thank you.

What is a battery discharge curve?

To implement the method and approach of [ 8, 9 ], battery discharge curves are required at constant power, where the battery voltage and current vary. This is atypical from the usual method of battery performance characterization, where the current is fixed and power and voltage are variable.
