　　Common Problems of Lithium Batteries

　　Lithium batteries may encounter the following common problems:

　　1. Safety Issues

　　Under certain circumstances, such as overcharging, over-discharging, short circuit, or high-temperature environment, lithium batteries may generate excessive heat, which can lead to thermal runaway and even cause fire or explosion. For example, if a lithium battery is charged for too long or the charging current is too large, the internal temperature of the battery will rise rapidly, increasing the risk of safety accidents.

　　The sealing of lithium batteries may be damaged due to factors such as improper manufacturing or long-term use, resulting in the leakage of the electrolyte inside the battery. The leaked electrolyte is not only corrosive but also poses a threat to the safety of users and the environment.

　　2. Performance Degradation -

　　Capacity Fading

　　With the increase in the number of charge and discharge cycles, the capacity of lithium batteries will gradually decline. This is mainly because the internal structure of the battery will be damaged during the charge and discharge process, resulting in a decrease in the storage capacity of lithium ions. For example, after a long time of use, the battery life of a mobile phone powered by a lithium battery will become shorter.

　　Low Voltage

　　:The voltage of lithium batteries may decrease during use, which may be caused by factors such as high self-discharge rate, uneven charge, or internal resistance increase. Low voltage will affect the normal operation of the device and reduce the performance of the battery.

　　3. Charging Problems

　　Long Charging Time

　　Compared with traditional batteries, the charging time of lithium batteries is relatively long. Although the charging technology of lithium batteries has been continuously improved, it still takes several hours to fully charge a lithium battery in some cases, which affects the user experience.

　　Incompatibility of Chargers

　　Different types and models of lithium batteries may require specific chargers. If the wrong charger is used, it may not only affect the charging effect but also damage the battery.

　　4. Environmental Adaptability

　　At low temperatures, the performance of lithium batteries will be significantly affected. The charging and discharging efficiency will decrease, and the capacity will also be reduced. This limits the application of lithium batteries in some low-temperature environments, such as cold regions or outdoor use in winter.

　　In high-temperature environments, the life and safety of lithium batteries will also be affected. High temperature will accelerate the aging of the battery and increase the risk of safety accidents.
