What are the misconceptions about using lithium batteries in digital cameras

One of the pitfalls of using lithium batteries: As long as you use less batteries, this can play a role in extending the battery life to some extent.

This is wrong because it ignores the aging nature of lithium batteries. Lithium-ion batteries have been decaying since they were manufactured, and even if they are not recycled, some of their electricity will be permanently lost. This phenomenon is called the "aging effect" of batteries. It is the same as the "memory effect" of nickel-metal hydride batteries, resulting in a reduction in battery power.

Lithium-ion batteries rarely have the memory effect of nickel-cadmium batteries. Excessive charging and excessive discharge will cause permanent damage to the positive and negative poles of lithium ion batteries. This leads to the following two misunderstandings:

Myth 2: Lithium batteries must be used up before charging.

This is wrong. It is best to charge when the electricity is only 20 % -40 %. Lithium-ion batteries are usually equipped with charge and discharge control circuits. For lithium batteries, it is best to perform partial discharge rather than complete discharge. Actual tests show that if the battery is below 2.5 volts per unit, although the safety circuit inside the battery will start, the battery will become somewhat unusable at this time. The result can only advance the battery waste date.

Myth number three: the first three charges should be full of 12-14 hours.

This is the performance of overcharging. First, some people think that deep charge and discharge can stimulate battery activity and increase the actual capacity of lithium ion batteries. According to the expert's answer, this is just an interesting imagination formed without understanding the mechanism of lithium batteries. Deep charge and discharge will only cause additional permanent damage to lithium ion batteries.

The power display of the new battery is sometimes incorrect. For example, the battery is full and still shows 96 %. After several full cycles of charging and discharging, it will slowly reach 99 % -100 %. In fact, this is due to the fact that the detection circuit in the battery has not sampled enough data, and it has yet to correct the values in the register. Battery power is still determined by the chemical properties of the battery, and the values displayed are only a reference. The so-called "activation" of the new battery, which is fully filled and placed three times before use, is also a rumor in the eyes of experts.

In summary, lithium batteries are OK as long as they are properly charged. Moreover, lithium battery chargers are now equipped with indicator lights. After charging, the indicator lights will change from red to green.

If your battery has been activated, there is no need to discharge it completely before recharging.

Many lithium-ion batteries have been activated at the factory -- because many consumers do not know about lithium batteries, so they treat lithium batteries with nickel-metal hydride batteries. This reduces the life of lithium batteries, so many batteries are shipped. It is already active.

Lithium batteries are activated by three to five normal charge and discharge cycles
