4. Charging

4.2. Influence of temperature

Low temperatures

  • Charging Li-ion at temperatures below 5°C with limited current only, in frost is not allowed.
  • Fast charging in the range of 5 - 45 ° C, but preferably 10 - 30 ° C.
  • Charging in the cold damages the battery ("plating" the anode with lithium, permanent, irreversible changes).



High temperatures

  • High temperatures are harmful for any type of battery.
  • Usually, they cannot be charged at T> 50 ° C, it accelerates aging.
  • Current limitation is necessary, charging with high current at high temperature reduces the capacity of the battery.
  • May cause gas production and inflation.
