It is well known that lithium-ion batteries have a limited lifespan, which have typically
300-500 times. In fact, the life of a lithium battery is calculated from the moment it
leaves the factory, not the first time it is used.

On the one hand, capacity degradation of lithium-ion batteries is a natural result of use
and aging. On the other hand, it accelerates due to lack of maintenance, harsh
operating conditions, poor charging operations, and so on. The following several
articles will discuss in detail on the daily use and maintenance of lithium ion batteries.
I believe that is also a topic of great concern to everyone.

Lithium ion batteries, also called as li ion batteries are the gadgets to store electrical
energy for longer periods of time and help mechanical devices to work without
attaching to an outside power source. These batteries are made by using ions of
lithium in combination with other chemicals and have amazing properties to get
charge faster. These batteries have longer life and remain great at work till two to three
years. After that, you will require replacing batteries. Old lithium batteries are
replaceable because these are removable batteries and new batteries can be put inside
old devices too easily.You can check How to Dispose of a Lithium-ion Battery？ for
proper disposal.

Along with having so many positive aspects, these li ion batteries have some negative
properties as well. For example, these batteries get hotter too quickly and cannot be
kept in direct sunshine. We can even not keep the charged lithium batteries in room
temperature for too long. Well, this is because the lithium inside the batteries has a
magnetic-filed in which positive and negative ions are moving continuously. This
movement of ions inside the field causes the battery to get hotter even at the room
temperature. When batteries are charged and not being used, the movement of ions is
too quick that makes it too hot and can cause battery damage, failure, and even
explosive.

Moreover, li ion batteries are also not recommended to charge for too long. Experts
and scientists suggest that li ion batteries should be charged for a limited period of
time and must separate from the power source immediately before it reaches to its
1/4
maximum level. We have seen cases in which li ion batteries were blasted, started
leaking, or bloated because of being charged for too long. This thing also lessens the
overall working life of batteries.

Now, if you have put the batteries on charge for too long and forgot to disconnect it
from the power source, now it is time to cool it down immediately. By cooling I mean,
the speed of the movement of ions should be decreased due to which temperature of
the battery has increased. There are many ways suggested to cool down the batteries
and one of the most famous one is freezing the batteries for some time.

Though, it is a famous way of keeping up with the temperature of lithium ion batteries
still people are confused regarding the working of this way of treatment. Some
questions that occur in the minds of people are:

· Does freezing hurt lithium ion battery·

· Can you revive lithium ion battery with a freezer·

· How to restore lithium ion battery in freezer·

Well, to conquer your concerns, we shall explain each question separately:

Does Freezing Hurt Lithium Ion Battery·

To answer this question, we will have to look at the making and formation of li ion
batteries. Basically, lithium ion batteries are made of electrodes and electrolytes while
they have no water in them, therefore, a freezing temperature is not going to bring a
major effect on its working. Lithium ion batteries when kept in freezing cold
temperatures, will require recharging before the next use because low temperatures
slow-down the speed of ions inside it. Therefore, to bring them back in the movement,
it requires to be recharged. By doing so, the performance of the battery will increase
because a cold battery discharges slowly whole the hot ones kill the lithium battery
cells faster.

Therefore, if you are prone to take your cellphones, laptops, and other devices
embedded with lithium ion batteries outside in temperature below 0, make sure to
recharge them before use for excellent performance.

Can You Revive Lithium Ion Battery With A Freezer·

Well, lithium in the li ion batteries is always moving and causing increase in its
temperature. Therefore, it is recommended too keep the lithium ion batteries in
normal to cold temperatures. These mustn’t be kept in direct sunshine or basements
having heating temperament as this can lessen life of these batteries. If you see
temperature of the battery is increasing, immediately, plug it out and store in freezer to
cool down. Make sure the battery doesn’t get wet while doing so. Bring it out once it is
cold and then charge it before use.

You are also recommended to keep charging lithium batteries even if you are not using
them. Don’t charge them to the fullest but don’t let the charging point fall below zero
to have an improved life span of the batteries.

How to restore lithium ion battery in freezer·

If you find your lithium ion batteries completely dead and not getting recharged, you
can revive them by keeping inside the freezers. Here is the way you can use:

Things you need to restore the battery are; voltmeter, crocodile clippers, healthy
battery, genuine charger, a device with heavy load, freezer, and of course the damaged
battery.

1.Bring the dead battery out of the device and keep the device aside; you don’t need it
for now.

2.You will use a voltmeter here to read and take the charging reading of your dead and
healthy battery.

3.Take clippers and attach the dead battery with healthy battery having same
temperature for 10 to 15 minutes.

4.Take voltage reading of the dead battery you need to restore once again.

5.Now, take out the charger and charge the dead battery. Make sure you use genuine
charge for charging.

6.Now put the charged battery in a device that requires heavy load to work. By doing
so, you will be able to discharge the battery faster.

7.Discharge the battery but, make sure not to empty it but it should have so much
voltage in it too.

8.Now, take the discharged battery and put in in the freezer for one whole day and
night. Make sure the battery is enclosed in a bag that keeps it from getting wet.

9.Bring out battery and leave it for 8 hours at room temperature.

10.Charge it.

We hope it will work by doing all this process, or else you will have to replace it.
