18650 power lithium battery is a common type of lithium battery, widely used in power tools, handheld devices, drones and other fields. After purchasing a new 18650 power lithium battery, the correct activation method is very important to improve the battery performance and extend the service life. This article will introduce the activation methods of 18650 power lithium batteries to help readers better understand how to properly activate this type of battery.
01.What is 18650 power lithium battery?
The 18650 power lithium battery is a common standard size of lithium-ion battery with a diameter of 18mm and a length of 65mm, hence the name. It has high energy density, higher voltage and smaller size, and is suitable for equipment and systems that require a high performance power source.
02.Why do I need to activate?
During the production of 18650 lithium power batteries, the battery will be in a low energy state and will need to be activated to activate the battery chemistry to achieve optimal performance. The correct activation method can help the battery achieve maximum charge storage and release capacity, improve battery stability and cycle life.
03.How to activate 18650 power lithium battery?
(1) Charging: First of all, insert the newly purchased 18650 power lithium battery into a professional lithium battery charger for charging. When charging for the first time, it is recommended to choose a lower charging current for charging to avoid excessive impact on the battery, it is generally recommended to choose a charging current of 0.5C for the initial charging, and the battery can be disconnected when it is fully charged.
(2) Discharge: Connect the fully charged 18650 lithium power battery to the equipment or electronic load for a complete discharge process. Through the discharge can activate the chemical reaction inside the battery, so that the battery reaches a better performance state.
(3) Cyclic charging and discharging: Repeat the cyclic process of charging and discharging. 3-5 cycles of charging and discharging are usually recommended to ensure that the chemicals inside the battery are fully activated to improve the performance and cycle life of the battery.
