The safe working voltage range of lithium battery is 2.8~4.2V, lower or higher than this voltage range, the lithium ions in the battery become very unstable, and even cause accidents. In order to ensure that the battery is in a safe range, a special charger is required. These chargers will automatically adjust the charging method according to the current state of the battery. 2. Before activating the lithium charger to start charging, it will supply the battery with a small current, and at the same time detect the battery voltage change, and gradually increase the current until the set value. This process can be regarded as an activation or test charge. 3. The constant current variable voltage charging charger charges the battery with a constant current. As the battery voltage increases, the charger increases the charging voltage at the same time to speed up the charging speed. 4. When the battery reaches the 4.2V cut-off voltage, the battery will only charge about 70% of the charge (not full). At this time, the charger continues to charge the battery with a constant voltage and a gradually decreasing current, until the value is less than 0.1A and the battery voltage continues to rise when the battery voltage continues to rise before stopping charging. (1) Standard charging method: Charge with 0.2C5 constant current until the battery terminal voltage is 4.20V, change to constant voltage charging, and it will be regarded as full when the charging current is less than 0.01C5. The standard charging method is often used to calibrate the battery capacity. Because the charging is too slow, it is rarely used in daily use. (2) Fast charging method: Charge with 1C5 constant current until the battery terminal voltage is 4.20V, change to constant current charging, until the charging current is u003c0.01C5.
