Lion storage voltage

How do you store a lithium ion battery?

Li-ion batteries should be stored in a charged state, maintain a voltage above 2.5V before they start to break down and decompose.

What is the ideal storage voltage for lithium ion batteries?

The ideal storage voltage for lithium-ion batteries is not more than 3.6V. Most sources suggest storing the batteries at a capacity of 40%, but it's important to note that the voltage limit is crucial. Storing a battery charged to greater than 3.6V initiates electrolyte oxidation by the cathode and induces SEI layer formation on the cathode.

Should you build your own Li-ion battery pack?

Building your own Li-ion battery pack can be a cost-effective and customizable solution for those looking to optimize their drone’s performance. However, for those who lack soldering experience, purchasing ready-made battery packs off the shelf may be a safer and more convenient option.

Can Li-ion batteries be fully charged?

According to the Li-ion batteries’ chemical features, as permanent capacity loss is greatest at elevated temperatures with the batteries voltage maintained at 4.2 V (fully charged), you also couldn’t maintain them at fully charged 4.2V.
