At present, major lithium battery manufacturers have designed various types of lithium battery protection chips for different types of lithium-ion battery overcharge, overdischarge, and overcurrent protection requirements to ensure battery safety performance and avoid deterioration of battery characteristics. Most of these lithium battery protection chips are suitable for lithium-ion batteries with 1-4 cells in series, and very few new products, such as Texas Instruments' BQ77PL900 chip, are suitable for lithium-ion batteries with 5-10 cells in series, and their protection functions Perfect and widely used in many lithium battery protection circuits. However, for many serial numbers, such as battery packs with more than 10 strings of lithium batteries in series or the number of protection chips are different from the actual number of lithium battery packs in series, if the current integrated circuit chips on the market are used to make the protection circuit, there will be no The disadvantage of not being flexible enough to achieve protection or use.

Low-temperature lithium-ion batteries are classified according to their discharge performance: energy storage low-temperature lithium-ion batteries, rate-type low-temperature lithium-ion batteries.

Against the background of energy crisis and environmental pollution, lithium-ion batteries, as an ideal energy source for development in the 21st century, have received more and more attention. However, some failure phenomena may occur in the production, transportation, and use of lithium-ion batteries. Moreover, the failure of a single battery will affect the performance and reliability of the entire battery pack, and even cause the battery pack to stop working or other safety issues.

Lithium-ion battery has a high energy density, its capacity is 1.5 to 2 times that of a nickel-hydrogen battery of the same weight, and it has a very low self-discharge rate. In addition, lithium-ion batteries have almost no "memory effect" and do not contain toxic substances. These advantages of lithium-ion batteries make it widely used in the field of new energy vehicles.

Nowadays, the more widely used cylindrical lithium-ion batteries are 18650 batteries and 21700 batteries.

Lithium-ion batteries and lead-acid batteries are currently the two most widely used batteries. So what is the difference between these two batteries and which one is better? The following will focus on the difference between lithium-ion batteries and lead-acid batteries.

For lithium batteries, our focus is often on capacity and energy density. These data can usually directly reflect the length of the battery's cruising range. But what we should note is that most lithium batteries are the products of electrochemistry. Since they are related to chemistry, their performance has a great relationship with temperature.

The self-discharge reaction of lithium-ion batteries is inevitable, and its existence not only leads to the reduction of the battery's own capacity, but also seriously affects the battery's configuration and cycle life. The self-discharge rate of lithium-ion batteries is generally 2% to 5% per month, which can fully meet the requirements for the use of single batteries.

Ternary lithium ion battery refers to a lithium ion battery that uses three transition metal oxides of nickel, cobalt, and manganese as the positive electrode material. Because it combines the advantages of lithium cobalt oxide, lithium nickel oxide and lithium manganate, it has excellent performance for any of the above single-component cathode materials.

The 18650 type lithium battery is a more commonly used lithium battery in electronic products, and is often used as a cell in the battery pack of a notebook computer. When we use it, we find that sometimes the 18650 lithium battery cannot be charged. Let's analyze the reason below.

The lithium battery protection circuit board is mainly composed of protection IC (overvoltage protection) and MOS tube (overcurrent protection), and is a device used to protect the safety of lithium battery cells. Lithium batteries are widely used by people for their large discharge current, low internal resistance, long life, and no memory effect. Lithium-ion batteries are strictly prohibited from overcharging, overdischarging, and short-circuiting during use, otherwise it will cause the battery to catch fire and explode. Therefore, when using rechargeable lithium batteries, there will be a protective circuit board to protect the safety of the batteries.
