For as much capacity lithium-ion batteries have, their useful lifespan is generally measured in the hundreds of cycles. This degradation is caused by the electrodes themselves degrading, including the ...

Using pulse current charging, or a constant current divided with a few short breaks, lithium-ion batteries hold up better over hundreds of charging cycles and can last twice as long. When you purchase ...

Self-discharge is a normally occurring phenomenon in lithium-ion battery cells. A normal cell may have a self-discharge rate of 1% state of charge (SOC) per month. The normal self-discharge rate is ...
