Lithium polymer batteries are of high energy, miniaturization and lightweight. As a kind of storage battery, they can be recharged multiple times, making it convenient for all users. Today, lipo batteries are used extensively in electronic and digital products. However, a lot of people do not pay attention to battery daily maintenance, which leads to a great reduction in its service life. So, how to prolong the lipo battery life? Here are some points for you.
Choose the right charger
It’s best to choose the special charger produced by the original battery factory to match the lipo. If batteries are charged with non-original chargers, the mismatched currents and voltages during charging will damage the circuit system, shorten the service life of the batteries, and even bring potential safety hazards like pack expansion. The original batteries and chargers are the best couple.
Charge and discharge appropriately to avoid damage
Over-charge and over-discharge will damage the batteries to a great extent, so don’t wait until the power is completely exhausted before charging, and don’t charge for a long time (avoid charging all night). Generally, keep it for 1-2 hours after the green light of the charger is on.
Pay attention to the charging environment and eliminate potential safety hazards
Charging in wet rain and snow environment is easy leads to a short circuit, while charging under the scorching sun can easily result in spontaneous combustion. To ensure safety, Lipo batteries should be charged in a dry, ventilated and cool environment.
Keep away from dangerous sources when storing
During daily storage, Lipo batteries should avoid a humid environment and long-term exposure. What’s more, keep them away from heat sources, as well as burning combustibles and explosives. Do not mix the batteries with other metal objects to avoid metal objects touching the positive and negative poles of the batteries, resulting in short circuits and damage to the batteries and even bring about danger.
Recharge batteries that have been idle for a long time
When a battery is idle for a long time, charge it to avoid being in a power loss state, as this state will greatly reduce Lipo’s service life. Idle batteries can be charged every two weeks or so, and it is best to keep them at the semi-electric storage state (about 40% ~ 60%).
Reduce human damage
Do not knock, prick, trample or modify the batteries. In daily use, the Lipo batteries that have just been charged should be put aside for half an hour and used after the charging performance is stable, otherwise, the battery performance will be affected.
Clean the batteries in time to eliminate hidden dangers
Timely remove the dust and dirt on the battery covers keep them dry and clean to prevent the batteries from self discharging. Remove the copper rust on the charging and discharging ports of the battery packs and the contact points of the chargers in time to prevent potential safety hazards caused by poor contact.
