Among the various charging-related concerns, overcharging stands out as a significant factor that can detrimentally affect battery health.

Lithium Thionyl Chloride Batteries Passivation

Passivation is a surface protecting reaction which occurs spontaneously in all lithium batteries which are based on a liquid cathode.

Charging Batteries in Series vs. Parallel

How you connect batteries will determine how they perform in different applications.

Understanding Degradation in Stored SLA and LFP Batteries: A Comparative Analysis

This article explores the degradation phenomena in SLA and LFP batteries that sit on the shelf for 6, 9, and 12+ months.

Battery Storage

It is in the best interest of anyone ordering batteries to know how to properly store them ahead of time to get the most out of their investment. In all cases, batteries should be stored with no connection to a load.

Summary of Battery Do's and Don'ts

Table 1 summarizes how to prolong battery life through proper attention. Because of similarities within systems, the chemistries are limited to lead, nickel and lithium.

Protecting Rechargeable Lithium Batteries

Battery packs containing Li-ion cells require a mandatory protection circuit or CID (circuit interrupt device) to assure safety.

Lithium Ion Battery Life

In this article useful cycle life is assumed before the initial battery capacity drops to below 70%.

Sealed Lead Acid (SLA) Batteries Compared to Lithium Iron Phosphate (LFP) Batteries

Beside mobility devices and material movers, energy storage in residential, commercial, and industrial applications is one the key drivers behind ever growing demand for batteries.
