Lithium batteries do not have the same memory effect as nickel chromium batteries and can be charged as needed. For the discharge of lithium batteries, a minimum limit is set. Placing the battery over discharge can cause irreversible reactions, which means that our battery cannot be charged in after being discharged for a long time. So how to repair lithium batteries that have been over discharged? The editor will answer for everyone.

What is over discharge and how does it affect the performance of lithium batteries?

After discharging the stored power inside the lithium battery, if the voltage reaches a certain value, continuing to discharge will cause overdischarge. The discharge cut-off voltage is usually determined based on the discharge current. The discharge of 0.2C-2C is generally set at 1.0V/unit, and for 3C and above, such as 5C or 10C discharge, it is set at 0.8V/unit. Overdischarge of the battery may bring catastrophic consequences to lithium batteries, especially high current over discharge or repeated over discharge, which has a greater impact on the battery. Generally speaking, overdischarging can increase the internal pressure of lithium batteries, damage the reversibility of positive and negative active materials, and even if charged, only partial recovery can be achieved, resulting in a significant decrease in capacity.

If different capacities or old and new batteries are mixed together for use, there may be phenomena such as leakage and zero voltage. This is due to the difference in capacity during the charging process, which causes some batteries to be overcharged and some lithium batteries to not be fully charged. When discharging, there are high-capacity batteries that have not been fully discharged, while low capacity batteries are overdischarged. Such a vicious cycle, lithium batteries are damaged and leak or have low voltage.

How to repair lithium batteries that have been over discharged?

There are two types of overdischarging in lithium batteries: one is when the voltage of a single cell is zero, and the other is when the voltage of each cell drops outside the detectable range of the charger.

After the single cell drops to zero, the lithium battery is completely broken, and it can only be saved when all cells are around 3V. At this point, everyone needs to prepare one and fill the board. This battery cannot detect voltage when connected to a charger. This indicates that the battery is over discharged. To save this battery, we need to prepare a normal battery.

The voltage display of this lithium battery is normal, it's up to it to save the overdischarged battery! Firstly, plug both batteries into the parallel charging board, connect the charger, and adjust the charging current to 0.3A. Note that in order to bring back an overdischarged battery, it is necessary to charge it with a low current. When the battery is fully charged, the charger will prompt, remember to unplug the lithium battery!

Lithium batteries are generally charged using a "constant current constant voltage" method, which means that they are initially charged with standard current for a period of time, and when the battery voltage reaches the charging cut-off voltage, constant voltage charging is used. Therefore, it is possible to charge the battery with a DC power supply for a period of time, and then switch to the original charger when the cut-off voltage is reached. Although this method is sometimes feasible, it is not always possible because battery over discharge has already affected the performance of the battery. However, there are also cases where lithium batteries that have been stored for several years can be activated.

How to repair lithium batteries for mobile phones?

1. Using a clean eraser or other material cleaning tool to gently wipe the metal contacts on lithium batteries and mobile phones can help improve charging conditions and ensure long-lasting power.

2. Wrap the old mobile phone lithium battery that needs to be automatically shut down tightly with cling film, and try to wrap it as snugly as possible. There are three layers inside and outside to ensure that the battery is in a vacuum state. Then, wrap three layers of newspaper on top of the plastic wrap to completely seal the lithium battery. Place the battery in the freezer compartment and after 48 hours, remove the six layers of paper film wrapped around it one by one. The lithium battery did not experience surface expansion or deformation due to freezing. After cooling for a period of time, then charge.

3. Thoroughly discharge the lithium battery that is close to being scrapped, and then recharge and activate the battery. The specific method is to perform deep discharge on the mobile phone, which is to achieve a deeper level of recharging by depleting the internal electrical energy. This requires the use of some unconventional methods.

How to properly maintain lithium batteries?

① Due to the self discharge phenomenon of lithium batteries, if the battery is not in use, in order to achieve long-term good preservation, the battery voltage should not be lower than its cut-off voltage, preferably around 3.8 to 4.0V;

② It is recommended to charge lithium batteries every six months to keep them above the cut-off voltage;

③ The temperature and humidity of the battery storage environment should be suitable and operated according to the specifications;

④ It is best not to charge old and new batteries, batteries of different brands, capacities, and types together, or mix them up into battery packs for charging.

The above are the repair methods for lithium battery over discharge and the correct maintenance methods for lithium batteries. After years of development in lithium batteries, there are now brands that have achieved success in lithium battery repair technology.
