5. Discharging

  • The most favorable for Li-ion is room temperature.
  • The manufacturer prescribes a discharge temperature range (eg -20 ° C to 60 ° C).
  • Low temperatures → high internal resistance → driving range is shortened.
  • As the temperature rises, the internal resistance decreases - the discharge power increases, but higher temperatures accelerate aging.
  • Excessive or complete discharge will cause irreversible damage.
  • The battery is better to discharge by low, constant current than by pulse overload.
