Lithium battery failure model-explain the phenomenon of lithium evolution in graphite anode: part-3

Nov , 03 2021

During the long-cycle cycle, the reversible capacity of the lithium-ion battery will continue to decrease due to the reduction of active materials, the precipitation of metal lithium, the continuous consumption of electrolyte, the increase of internal resistance and thermal runaway. Among them, the lithium evolution phenomenon of the graphite negative electrode is the most important cause of batte...

What is the right duration of Phase 2 of a charging cycle?

Nov , 27 2021

The duration of Phase 1 is determined by the battery’s depth of discharge, the ratio of charger ampacity to battery capacity, and whether there are parasitic DC loads connected to the system. Although the duration of Phase 1 does vary, we are not concerned with this variation since, once the battery capacity, charger output, and DC loads are installed, we have no means to change the duration of Ph...
