Charging
The main purpose of discharging is to clean residual capacity of the battery,
or to reduce the battery voltage to a defined level. The same attention should
be paid to the discharging process as charging. The final discharge voltages
should be set up correctly to avoid deep-discharging. Lithium battery can not
be discharged to lower than the minimum voltage, or it will cause a rapid loss
of capacity or a total failure.
Generally, lithium battery doesn’t need to be discharged. please pay attention
to the minimum voltage of lithium battery to protect them.
Lithium batteries are recommended to be discharged partially rather than
fully. Frequent full discharging should be avoided if possible.
During charge process, a specific quantity of electrical energy is fed into the
battery. The charge quantity is calculated by multiplying charge current by
charge time. The maximum permissible charge current varies depending
on the battery type or its performance, and can be found in the information
by the battery manufacturer. Only batteries that are expressly stated to be
capable of quick charge are allowed to be charged at rates higher than the
standard charge current.
Connect the battery to the terminal of the charger: red is positive and black
is negative. Due to the difference between resistance of cable and connector,
the charge can not detect resistance of the battery pack, the essential
requirement for the charger to work properly is that the charge lead should
be of adequate conductor cross-section, and high quality connectors which
are normally gold plated should be fitted to both ends.
Always refer to the manual by battery manufacturer about charging methods,
recommended charging current and charging time. Especially, the lithium
battery should be charged according to the charging instructions provided by
the manufacturer strictly.
Attention should be paid to the connection of lithium battery especially.
Do not attempt to disassemble the battery pack arbitrarily.
Please get highlighted that lithium battery packs can be wired in parallel and
in series.
In the parallel connection, the batterys capacity is calculated by multiplying
single battery capacity by the number of cells with total voltage stay the
same. The voltages imbalance may cause fire or explosion. Lithium battery is
recommended to charge in series.
