Please get highlighted that Lithium battery packs can be wired in parallel and in
series.
In the parallel connection,
the battery
'
s capacity is calculated by multiplying
single battery
'
s capacity by the number of cell with total voltage stay the same.
The
voltage
'
s imbalance may cause fire or explosion.
Lithium battery is recommended
to charge in series.
Discharging
The main purpose of discharging is to clean residual capacity of the battery ,or to
reduce the battery
'
voltage to a defined level. The same attention should be paid to
the discharging process as charging. The final discharge voltage should be set up
correctly to avoid deep-discharging.Lithium battery can not be discharged to lower
than the minimum voltage, or it will cause a rapid loss of capacity or a total failure
.Generally, Lithium battery doesn
'
t need to be discharged. Please pay attention to
the minimum voltage of Lithium battery to protect the battery.
Some rechargeable batteries have a memory effect. If they are partly used and recharged
before the whole charge is accomplished, they remember this and will only use that part of
their capacity next time. This is a ‘memory effect
'
It is said that NICd and NiMH batteries
are suffering from memory effect
.
NiCd
has
more
memory
effect
than
NiMH
.
Lithium batteries are recommended to be discharged partially rather than fully
discharged. Frequent full discharging should be avoided if possible. Instead, charge the
battery more often or use a battery of larger capacity. Full capacity cannot be used until it
has been subjected to 10 or more charge cycles. The cyclic process of charge and
discharge will optimize the
capacity
of
battery
pack
.
