The correct charging method for lithium batteries

　　Proper charging is a crucial step in ensuring the performance and safety of lithium batteries. Here are some methods and precautions for correctly charging lithium batteries:

　　1. Use original charger : Original chargers are usually rigorously tested and certified by manufacturers to provide stable charging current and voltage, avoiding battery damage caused by charger quality issues.

　　2. Avoid overcharging : Although lithium batteries have overcharge protection, prolonged overcharging can affect the performance and lifespan of the battery. It is recommended to disconnect the power supply promptly after the battery is fully charged to avoid prolonged connection to the charger.

　　3. Avoid excessive discharge : Excessive discharge can also cause damage to lithium batteries. When the battery level is below a certain level, it should be charged in a timely manner to avoid the device shutting down automatically due to insufficient power.

　　4. Control charging environment : Lithium batteries are sensitive to temperature, and high or low temperatures can affect their performance and lifespan. It is recommended to charge at room temperature and avoid charging in extreme high or low temperature environments.

　　5. First charge does not need to be charged for too long : There is a saying in the past that newly purchased devices need to undergo "initial charging", which means that the first charge needs to be fully charged for 12 hours. For modern lithium batteries, this approach is unnecessary and can be fully charged.

　　6. Regular Charging and Discharging : Even if the device is not used frequently, it is recommended to perform a charging and discharging cycle on the lithium battery at regular intervals to help maintain its good condition and extend its service life.

　　7. Pay attention to battery status : During the charging process, pay attention to the condition of the battery. If any abnormal phenomena such as bulging, deformation, or leakage are found on the surface of the battery, stop charging in a timely manner and contact professional personnel for inspection and handling.

　　By using the correct charging method mentioned above, the service life of lithium batteries can be effectively extended, ensuring their performance and safety, and improving the user experience of the equipment.
