It is curious that in a page called "lithium ion" we have never spoken of such batteries. And yes, it is true that this is not the theme of this blog, must take into account the fact that batteries are a vital part of our technological present. And particularly in this case, is rather an explanatory article on its merits. Because the information surrounding the battery is full of inconsistencies and misconceptions do we have to charge a battery over time the first time you use it? What batteries have memory effect? What are the best batteries? These and other questions will try to answer in my article.
1. Before first use of a battery to do a full charge longer
Myth: You have to load until the indicator tell us that are already loaded, not a minute more. Leave more time connected could damage it, and although most have batteries and circuit overload protection, better not tempt fate. Whenever we see that the battery has finished loading, it is best to disconnect from the network. The factor of importance of the first charge is a myth, inherited directly from nickel-cadmium batteries (Ni-Cd).
2. If there is to be used for a long time, it is best to keep the battery discharged
Myth: To store a battery that will not be used in a long time, maybe he's a middle ground: either loaded or unloaded, but with half the load more or less. In fact, only have to look at that all electronic devices that incorporate battery usually have the same partially charged battery when out of the box, about 40% of its total capacity. This is the ideal load with which we store them. Store the battery fully discharged for a long time can cause irretrievable damage (making it impossible that he can never be reloaded), while fully charged if the store is likely to lose some of its capacity (about 20%).
3. The batteries may explode
Half-truth: Of all the battery types listed above, the lithium ion batteries are more prone to overheat and explode, because they are made of flammable materials. For this reason these batteries incorporate several electronic circuits that control protection at all times the status of the battery. As a general rule, you should store at a temperature of about 15 ยบ.
4. It is better to use a charger (transformer) instead of a USB charger
Fact: There are some modern devices such as phones or PDAs, that besides the usual charger plug into the mains include a USB travel charger. In either case, it is always better to use the charger, because the USB port of some devices such as laptops, not always maintain the required 500mA, so it provides a more unstable current flow and slows the loading of appliance.
