The Damage of Overcharging and Over - Discharging to Batteries

release time:2025-07-24 Hits:     Popular:AG11 battery


Overcharging and over - discharging are two common issues that can cause significant damage to batteries, regardless of the type, but the mechanisms and consequences vary depending on the battery chemistry.

When a battery is overcharged, excessive energy is forced into the cell. In lithium - ion batteries, for example, overcharging can cause a series of detrimental effects. The excess voltage leads to increased temperature within the cell. As the temperature rises, it can trigger thermal runaway, a dangerous chain reaction where the heat generated causes the battery to release more heat, potentially leading to fire or explosion. Overcharging also causes electrolyte decomposition, producing gas that increases the internal pressure of the battery. This can lead to swelling of the battery casing. Additionally, the separator between the positive and negative electrodes may melt due to the high temperature, causing a short circuit between the electrodes, which further degrades the battery's performance and safety.

In the case of lead - acid batteries, overcharging can cause water electrolysis in the electrolyte. The water in the electrolyte breaks down into hydrogen and oxygen gases, which are released. This not only reduces the amount of electrolyte available for the electrochemical reactions but also poses an explosion hazard if the gases accumulate in a confined space. Overcharging can also cause corrosion of the positive electrode, reducing its lifespan and capacity.

Over - discharging, on the other hand, occurs when a battery is drained below its safe operating voltage limit. For lithium - ion batteries, repeated over - discharging diminishes the battery's ability to hold a charge. It increases the internal resistance of the battery, leading to reduced efficiency and higher heat generation during subsequent use. In severe cases, over - discharging can cause irreversible damage to the battery's chemistry. The electrodes may undergo structural changes, and the active materials may be damaged, resulting in a permanent loss of capacity.

For nickel - cadmium (Ni - Cd) and nickel - metal - hydride (Ni - MH) batteries, over - discharging can cause the electrodes to become sulfated or oxidized. This increases the internal resistance and reduces the battery's performance. In Ni - Cd batteries, over - discharging can also lead to the formation of dendrites, which can cause short circuits within the cell.

The damage caused by overcharging and over - discharging is not only a problem for the individual battery but also for battery packs. In a battery pack consisting of multiple cells, if one cell is overcharged or over - discharged, it can affect the performance of the entire pack. This is why Battery Management Systems (BMS) are crucial. BMS is designed to prevent overcharging and over - discharging by monitoring the voltage, current, and temperature of each cell in the battery pack. It can cut off the charging or discharging process when the voltage of a cell reaches the critical limits, protecting the battery from damage and ensuring its safe and reliable operation.
