To extend the life of your lithium-ion battery, follow these 6 tips:

Do not overcharge and over-discharge

Maintaining a lithium-ion battery within the range of 10% to 90% of its charge is conducive to stable battery performance. Therefore, do not fully charge or discharge the battery to zero charge, but keep it within the appropriate range. 

Do not charge in high temperature environment

Avoid high temperature environment when charging. High temperatures can affect the efficiency of battery components, which in turn affects battery performance. When the electrolyte changes its properties due to high temperature, the decline in battery performance is irreversible. Therefore, avoid charging lithium batteries at high temperatures and avoid direct sunlight when storing them.

Avoid overuse

Unsafe usage, such as overloading and short-circuiting of the battery, will lead to internal short-circuiting, electrolyte leakage, battery expansion and other problems, and in serious cases, it may even cause an explosion or fire. Therefore, control the number of times the battery is used and maintain proper usage.

Conduct regular checkups

Regularly check the condition of the battery, such as power level, appearance, etc.

Choose the right charger

Use the original charger or a reputable charger for charging, avoid using a poor quality charger, which will lead to battery damage.

Avoid collision and extrusion

Lithium-ion batteries are easily damaged by collision and extrusion, so avoid stacking heavy or sharp objects on the battery.

Pay attention to the storage environment

When lithium-ion batteries are not used for a long period of time, they should be stored in a dry, cool place and the charge level should be checked regularly.
