Lithium-ion batteries for low-temperature applications: Limiting
Modern technologies used in the sea, the poles, or aerospace require reliable batteries with outstanding performance at temperatures below zero degrees. However,
Ideally, the recommended storage temperature for lithium ion batteries is between 20°C (68°F) and 25°C (77°F). This range ensures optimal performance and longevity of the battery. When exposed to excessively high or low temperatures, these batteries can become damaged and may even pose safety risks.
Optimal temperature range: The optimal operating temperature range for lithium batteries is 15 ° C to 35 ° C (59 ° F to 95 ° F). Within this temperature range, the battery can exhibit optimal performance and extend its lifespan. When the temperature is below 15 ° C (59 ° F), battery performance will decrease due to a slower chemical reaction rate.
Modern technologies used in the sea, the poles, or aerospace require reliable batteries with outstanding performance at temperatures below zero degrees. However, commercially available lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) show significant performance degradation under low-temperature (LT) conditions.
1. Keep batteries at a moderate temperature: It's important to avoid extreme temperatures when storing lithium ion batteries. If you have to store them in a cold environment, try to find a location where the temperature is consistently above freezing but not too warm either.
