Charging the lithium battery for the first time, need to charge more than 12 hours? -part 3
The lithium battery is a product that is easy to produce self-loss. The capacity of the battery will be irreversibly reduced with time. When the loss value is the highest, the annual consumption will be 10%. When buying the battery, be sure to check the date of manufacture. Do not buy the old ones.
What should be noted when using a lithium battery is:
After the battery is placed for a period of time, it enters a sleep state. At this time, the capacity is lower than the normal value, and the use time is also shortened. However, the lithium battery is easy to activate, as long as the battery is activated after 3-5 normal charge and discharge cycles, the normal capacity is restored. New lithium batteries do not require special methods and equipment during the activation process. It is best to charge this "natural activation" method using standard methods, like a reliable and professional lipo battery charger .

The danger of long charge and deep charge:
The long charge may cause overcharge. The lithium battery or charger will automatically stop when the battery is fully charged. On some machines, after charging for more than a certain period of time, do not remove the charger, the system will not stop charging, but will also start the discharge-charge cycle. It is disadvantageous for the life of the battery.
Long charging takes a long time and generally needs to be carried out at night. In many places, the voltage at night is relatively high and fluctuates greatly. The ability of lithium batteries to withstand fluctuations in charge and discharge is relatively poor.
The light charge is more beneficial for the lithium battery. Only when the power module of the product is calibrated for a lithium battery, it is necessary to deep charge. Therefore, products that use lithium-ion power supply do not have to be constrained by the process, and everything is convenient and can be charged at any time.
