What are the misunderstandings of using lithium batteries in digital cameras?

One of the misunderstandings of using lithium batteries: As long as the battery is used less, this can play a role in extending battery life to a certain extent.

This is wrong because it ignores the aging nature of lithium batteries. Since the lithium-ion battery has been degraded since it was shipped from the factory, even if it is not recycled, part of its power will be permanently lost. This phenomenon is called the "aging effect" of the battery. Like the "memory effect" of NiMH batteries, it causes a reduction in battery power.

Lithium-ion batteries rarely have the memory effect of nickel-cadmium batteries. Overcharging and over-discharging will cause permanent damage to the positive and negative terminals of the lithium-ion battery. This brings the following two misunderstandings:

Misunderstanding 2: Lithium battery must be used after charging.

This is wrong, it is best to charge when the power is only 20%-40%. Lithium-ion batteries are usually equipped with charge and discharge control circuits. For lithium batteries it is best to perform a partial discharge instead of a full discharge. The actual test shows that if the battery is placed below 2.5 volts per unit, although the internal safety circuit of the battery will start, the battery will become somewhat useless at this time. As a result, the battery retirement period can only be advanced.

Misunderstanding 3: The first three charges should be filled for 12-14 hours.

This is the performance of transitional charging. First of all, it is believed that deep charging and discharging can stimulate battery activity and increase the actual capacity of lithium-ion batteries. According to the experts' answer, this is just an interesting imagination that does not understand the mechanism of lithium batteries. Deep charging and discharging will only cause permanent and negative permanent damage of lithium-ion batteries.

The battery display of the new battery is sometimes incorrect. For example, if the battery is fully charged, it still shows 96%. After several cycles of charging and discharging, it will slowly reach 99%-100%. In fact, this is because the detection circuit in the battery has not sampled enough data, and it will be caused by correcting the value in the register in the future. The battery level is still determined by the chemistry of the battery, and the displayed value is only a reference. The so-called new battery is “activated” for three full charge and discharge before use. In the eyes of experts, it is also rumored.

In summary, the lithium battery is OK as long as it is properly charged. Moreover, the current lithium battery charger is equipped with an indicator light, and the indicator light will change from red to green after charging is completed.

If your battery has been activated, there is no need to fully charge and recharge.

Many lithium batteries have been activated at the factory---in view of the lack of understanding of lithium batteries by many consumers, the treatment of lithium batteries with nickel-hydrogen batteries has reduced the life of lithium batteries, so many batteries are It has been activated at the factory.

Lithium battery activation is based on 3-5 normal charge and discharge cycles
