Lithium-ion batteries cannot be used below -10 degrees Celsius, and lithium-ion batteries should not be exposed toively low temperatures. At excessively low temperatures, lithium in the battery deposits, causing internal short circuits. Simply put, in a low-temperature environment, lithium-ion batteries do actually run out of power, but rather they cannot release power normally. Ordinary lithium-ion batteries at 0 degrees Celsius will have their capacity reduced by 20% and when it reaches -10 degrees Celsius, the capacity may only be about half.

Why can't lithium-ion batteries be charged in a low-temperature environment

Most of the materials in lithium-ion batteries, such as separators and electrolytes, are organic materials with low melting and points. If the temperature is too high, some negative chemical reactions will occur inside the battery, which will seriously affect the battery life and even safety performance.

Under low temperature, the conductivity of key materials such as cathode, anode, and electrolyte in lithium-ion batteries decreases, leading to a decline in conductivity and seriously affecting the service life lithium-ion batteries.

For lithium-ion batteries, there is currently no clear theoretical support in the industry for the internal resistance, discharge platform, service life, and capacity various temperature performances, and the relevant calculation formulas and mathematical models are still in the exploration stage. Generally speaking, lithium-ion batteries are not sensitive to temperatures within the range of -40°C. However, once the temperature exceeds this range, the service life and capacity will be discounted.

Many experiments have been done, and the low- performance of lithium batteries with different materials also varies. The most popular lithium iron phosphate is the worst in low-temperature performance. Our products can release a capacity of 8% of the maximum capacity at -10°C, which should be relatively high in the industry; at 55°C, the capacity can reach 95%, the relative low-temperature decay is relatively small. This is still a product that has been submitted for inspection, as you all know, the quality is much higher than that of normal from the production line.

Low-temperature protection is that in case of too low temperature, metal lithium in lithium-ion batteries will produce deposition phenomenon, no longer reactically with substances, and thus short circuit inside the battery.

Since the working principle of lithium-ion batteries is that the internal electrolyte generates current through chemical reaction changes, in a potential difference between the positive and negative electrodes. In a low-temperature environment, the electrolyte moves very slowly, affecting the transfer activity of lithium ions between the positive and electrodes and causing a decline in the battery's charging and discharging performance.

Some people have reported that lithium-ion batteries cannot be charged in winter, some with lithium-ion battery management systems are due to product protection, and are due to quality issues and cannot be charged.

The use time of lithium batteries in winter is inevitably shorter than in summer. Here is a reminder to everyone that lithium batteries not be charged in winter. Due to the low temperature, lithium ions embedded in the negative electrode will produce ion crystallization, which will directly puncture the diaphragm, causing a micro short circuit affecting the life and performance, and serious ones may explode!
