subject: Laptop Battery Over-charging, Solutions to Overcharge Your Laptop Battery [print this page] Tips to Prolong Li-ion Batteries Pack Life
Keep Lithium-ion batteries cool and they may be stored in a refrigerator. The rate of degradation of Lithium-ion batteries is strongly temperature-dependent and they degrade much faster if stored or used at higher temperatures. Li-Ion batteries require a Battery Management System to prevent operation outside each cell's Safe Operating Area (over-charge, under-charge, safe temperature range) and to balance cells to eliminate SOC mismatches, significantly improving battery efficiency and increasing overall capacity.
