Digital battery

With the popularity of digital cameras, rechargeable batteries have been in the daily lives of citizens, can be seen everywhere as one of the essential daily needs. The new curriculum standards in high school physics elective module 2-1 explicitly require that students “know the power of the emf and internal resistance. But also “discuss the lithium Laptop battery, nickel-hydrogen batteries, nickel-cadmium batteries of the main characteristics and application of the respective occasion. In this paper, these three types of ordinary rechargeable batteries for a short introduction.

 

1, the main parameters of rechargeable batteries

The rechargeable battery of five main parameters: the battery capacity, rated voltage, internal resistance, the termination voltage and discharge voltage for charge termination. Battery inside the battery capacity of many decisions of active substances, usually milliamps (mAh) said, 1 000 mAh is capable of 1 A discharge current 1 h, converted to the charge contained in the amount of about 3 600 C. The battery positive and negative electrical potential difference between the nominal voltage of the battery. Rated voltage of electrode materials, electrode potential and electrolyte concentration of the internal decision. When the ambient temperature variation condition, a slight change in the output voltage of the battery; In addition, the battery voltage output and the battery charge remaining there some relationship between the amount of. Nickel Under normal circumstances, cell-cadmium batteries rated voltage of 1.3 V (usually seen around 1.25 V), cell Ni-MH IBM ThinkPad R32 battery 1.25 V, cell lithium-ion battery 3.6 V. The battery internal resistance of the resistance of the plate and the impedance of ion flow from the decision in the discharge process loads, the plate resistance is unchanged, but resistance to the flow of ions is responsible the concentration of electrolytes and changes in the ion change. In general, cell nickel cadmium battery internal resistance for the 7 ~ 19 mW, cell nickel-metal hydride battery internal resistance of 18 ~ 35 mW, lithium-ion battery cell internal resistance of 80 ~ 100 mW.

 

Rechargeable battery is fully charged, the most active substances board has reached the saturation point, then continue to charge the battery voltage does not increase the voltage currently known voltage charge termination. Cell-nickel-cadmium battery charge termination voltage of 1.75 ~ 1.8 V Ni-MH battery 1.5 V lithium-ion battery 4.2 V. Termination voltage discharge is the minimum allowable battery voltage discharge. If the voltage is below the battery voltage discharge termination of the discharge, the battery voltage decreased rapidly at both ends to form a depth of discharge, so that the resultant formation of a council where he is not easy in the resume normal load, thus affecting the battery life. Ceasing discharge voltage and flow, speaking generally, the cell nickel-cadmium battery discharge voltage termination of 1.1V, Ni-MH battery for 1 V, lithium-ion battery 2.7V

 

2, nickel-cadmium batteries (Ni-Cd)

Nickel material of the cathode cadmium Dell Inspiron B120 battery nickel hydroxide and the mixture of graphite powder, the negative electrode material for sponge powder and cadmium oxide powder of cadmium, the electrolyte is usually sodium hydroxide solution or potassium hydroxide. It should be noted that nickel-cadmium batteries before charging, the battery is composed of water, the reaction occurred in the positive and negative plate has a precipitation of oxygen and hydrogen. Bubbles gathered at the plate surface of the plate will reduce the surface involved in chemical reactions and increase the resistance of the internal battery. These gases, if not rapidly compounds in water, the pressure inside the battery would be increased considerably, which would damage the battery, the pressure is too large, sealed batteries will open porosity, so the oven electrolyte, but he repeated the release stomatal gas furnace, the viscous nature of the electrolyte increase the transmission of ions between the plates becomes difficult, the internal resistance of the battery will increase dramatically reduce battery capacity.

 

Nickel-cadmium hp F4809A battery process, if not all power has begun to charge over, the next, and then discharge, you can not release the total amount of money. For example, battery-nickel-cadmium is only 80% of the fee paid after after the start of the load is fully charged, the battery can only release 80% of home electricity, a phenomenon called “memory effect”. The main discharge appeared in some off camera is set too high, the battery is completely discharged each time the equipment is automatically closed, and if the battery will be serious long term “memory effect” may be more more capacity for less electricity. “Memory effect” is mainly due to the drum part of the discharge, the nickel hydroxide is not completely in the nickel hydroxide and nickel hydroxide remaining will be combined to form larger crystals, larger crystals generally difficult to restore, which causes the reduction of active substances inside the battery.

 

Nickel-cadmium batteries were first used in mobile phones, laptops, and other types of batteries, it is resistant to more load capacity and discharge, maintenance is simple, parallel bars, electric oven deep fried . But compared to nickel-hydride batteries, metal and lithium-ion batteries in terms of there are many disadvantages, such as loading and unloading process if not handled properly, there will be serious “memory effect”, greatly reducing the lifespan; Cadmium is toxic, and therefore nickel-cadmium VGP-BPS10 battery is not conducive to eco-environmental protection. Many gaps, nickel-cadmium batteries are now largely been eliminated from the scope of digital cameras.

 

3 nickel-hydride batteries, metal (Ni-H)

Ni-MH battery capacity nickel-cadmium batteries large, usually about twice as its main component of the nickel hydroxide positive electrode material negative alloy mainly pollution, dust free, the electrolyte is 30% potassium hydroxide aqueous solution. Reaction of nickel-hydride batteries, metal and nickel-cadmium batteries is similar to overcharging, the precipitation plate positive oxygen precipitation plate negative hydrogen. However, due to large surface of the catalyst of the hydrogen electrode, hydrogen can easily be extended to the hydrogen electrode surface, hydrogen and oxygen may be relatively easy to fit into the battery and combine to form water, so that the gas pressure inside the container essentially unchanged. Even so, long after the overcharge, the battery inside the pressure is too high, it may explode.

 

Ni-MH battery also has the effect of memory, but relatively low in nickel-cadmium batteries. Ni-MH batteries or nickel-cadmium toshiba PA3191U-4BRS battery memory effect can generally be put through several depth charges for the relief depth. Deep-discharge battery is usually necessary to put in the termination voltage is down to a single cell is usually below 1 V, but not too low, otherwise permanent damage will result in greater. Better not use the equipment for in-depth self-discharge, in particular, is a wire and a small bulb connected to the battery positive and negative measures of repression are more desirable because it can not control blood discharge, the voltage is too low will seriously damage the battery. Recommended with a function of discharge and protective equipment against overload charge to make deep and deep discharge.

 

Ni-MH battery internal resistance is low, high discharge current, discharge voltage changed very little, and easy to recycle batteries, damage to the environment are minimal, its costs and low prices, as the ‘DC power supply is a battery of very high quality. Ni-MH batteries can be used to create the column of rechargeable batteries, clocks, electronic games, digital cameras, video cameras, and some laptops have applied.

 

4 Li-ion battery (Li)

Li-ion apple M8403 battery is divided into two broad categories: non-rechargeable and rechargeable. Non-rechargeable batteries called disposable, it can be only one time chemical energy into electrical energy, electrical energy can be restored to chemical energy such as lithium-manganese dioxide. Known as the secondary rechargeable batteries, which is commonly known as lithium-ion battery (Li-Ion). The cathode is a lithium-ion batteries containing lithium transition cathode metal oxide is a carbon material such as graphite, the electrolyte is a lithium salt-containing organic solution. Cells both positive and negative or in the battery separator, the lithium-ion form are based there. The battery work, the lithium ions in the positive and negative electrodes and an electrolyte membrane in directional movement. When the battery is charging, the cathode to the electrolyte release Lithium-ion, this process is de-embedded; anode electrolyte in lithium-ion inhalation, this process is integrated. The process of discharging the battery and the situation at hand, such a charge and discharge when the lithium-ion intercalation and de-embedded process, as if the same rocking chair rocking, it was said that the image of lithium-ion batteries for “rocking chair batteries.

 

Lithium-ion batteries and nickel-cadmium batteries and nickel-metal hydride batteries in comparison, there are many advantages. Lithium-ion battery memory effect did not exist, the same capacity, the size is very small, using a voltage of 3.6 V, is a nickel-cadmium batteries, nickel-hydride batteries in three metal time and can be used in a wide range of temperatures (-20 ℃ ~ 60 ℃), while nickel-metal hydride TravelMate 290 battery (0 ℃ ~ 50 ℃). At the same time lithium-ion battery self-discharge rate is relatively low. Self-discharge rate is defined as a period of time, the battery is not used in the circumstances, an automatic loss of electricity for the percentage of total capacity. Generally, at room temperature, nickel-cadmium batteries self-discharge rate of 13% per month, 15%, Ni-MH battery for a month 25% ~ 35%, while the lithium-ion battery is only 5 % ~ 8% per month.

 

But lithium-ion batteries are also some areas unsatisfactory. Such as: lithium-ion batteries have life, usually for two years and do not use the state is stored for some time, some of its capacity would be permanently lost. Lithium-ion battery anode and cathode material from a plant has already begun its failure in history, different temperatures and state of battery charge saturation, the impact is different from data in Table 1 ( capacity accounts for the remaining percentage of the initial capacity) of the column.

 

Thus, the higher the storage temperature and charge the battery more saturated, more severe loss of capacity. So I do not recommend long-term preservation Lithium Ion battery, if there are idle hands of the VGP-BPS10B battery and the storage time should not exceed 40% charge level, temperature, preferably less than 15 ℃ or less. The nickel-hydride batteries, metal and nickel-cadmium batteries are almost not subject to aging effects of long-term storage of nickel-based charge batteries for deep discharge after a few deep can be restored to its capacity of origin. But the charge deep deep discharge can not be restored the ability of lithium-ion batteries and cause permanent damage to the positive and negative electrodes. Since the molecular level, the excessive discharge of carbon anode will lead to excessive release of lithium-ion batteries, while showing the lamellar structure collapsed, an overload of the lithium-ion battery will go too hard in the structure carbon negative, while making some of the lithium-ion batteries can not be released.

Lithium at the same time, battery charge and ion time of discharge only 400 to 600 times, specially modified products, but many times 800. The number of nickel-metal hydride rechargeable batteries generally able to reach more than 700 times, some good quality office products and output up to 1 200 times.

 

Because of the many advantages of lithium-ion battery is still optimistic about its potential applications, mainly in digital cameras, camcorders, mobile phones, PDAs, laptops that use power. Lithium-ion batteries currently in the hot area of research should be used in vehicles, electricity and gasoline and used motor vehicles or hybrid electric vehicles. Same time, people also develop a real sense of the solid state lithium batteries, lithium-ion battery completely eliminate the organic liquid, as well as safe and reliable lithium battery

Introduced the use of nickel-metal hydride battery of new products also accelerated the acquisition of all the heat, of course, it is unique “temperament” as the energy density, the number of charge cycles and more details ‘memory effect is small, non-toxic metals such as cadmium, mercury are also a number of advantages achievement of nickel-metal hydride Laptop battery position in the bull market.

 

With all the hands in nickel-metal hydride batteries steadily increasing number of scientific leap in the use and maintenance has gradually at the sight of attention. As we all know, the brand Ni-MH IBM ThinkPad R51 battery life can be charged according to the official request that 500-1000 times, but this is actually a good value, and often do not respond to such a life. But as a sensible use of chargers, more in depth understanding of nickel-hydride batteries, metal, we have left to do, “longevity”.

 

1. Under normal circumstances, the new nickel-metal hydride batteries contain a small amount of electricity we buy on driving charge and then reuse. However, if time battery plant is quite short, electricity is sufficient to recommend use first and then reload.

 

2. The new nickel-metal hydride batteries to buy a general charge to go through 3-4 times and use of, performance can play in the best condition, many of my friends for the first time, the prosecution encountered a small problem, for example, the first charge did not imagine the number of PP film so many? In the 3-4 times after charging and the use of all be resolved.

 

3. Although nickel-metal hydride Dell Latitude D820 battery memory effect is small, as much as possible is recommended after each use finished loading and is full of time, do not charge you would use for one count and then. Only longevity, “Oh, the important point.

 

4. The battery charging, the charger should pay attention to the heat surrounding the deliberate use of what wind there too is no need for fans, but noted that the shipper should not put too much debris around. Ordinary users the process of using the battery, the battery is often not a dedicated storage bag; users to replace the battery, will acquire the habit of easy storage battery, regardless of where the place is clean and moist . The consequence is that the battery they get dirty easily, easy-to-metal contact, such as keys, etc. contact, easy to moisture, and it is the enemy of batteries. Recommendation: Users should set up a special cell to place points and keep the battery clean. To avoid problems such as loss of electricity to keep the Dell KD186 battery and contact points of the battery to both ends of the inner lid clean, if necessary, use a soft, clean and dry pasture.

 

5. A long time did not have time, remember to remove the battery from the storage battery, placed under dry conditions recommended brand of battery in the box to prevent short-circuit the battery.

 

6. A long time without nickel-hydride batteries in the metal shop a few months later, the battery naturally in hibernation “state”, the battery life considerably reduced. If Ni-MH battery has been placed for a very long time, I suggest you begin with the slow charge is appropriate to impose. For another important issue at stake here: for Ni-MH HSTNN-LB31 battery, the battery must be completely discharged, then save, store, or online? Both points of view very different from what it should be used? Many people think that we should adopt the first, but I thought that to save the battery charge is reasonable. Because: According to tests, Ni-MH battery to save the best conditions to save about 80% charged. Because the nickel-metal hydride batteries self-discharge rate is high (10% -15% per month or almost), if the battery is completely discharged, then save it for a long time not to use the ‘battery-discharge phenomenon will discharge excessive battery, may damage the battery. Do not believe? So you think to buy a new nickel-metal hydride rechargeable battery is not all there is electricity, which is the reason. Recommendation: Apart from correcting the wrong point of view, maintenance of the battery to start in the right direction, otherwise it will backfire.

 

7. There are many messages from friends post questioned how to meet Ni-MH? After investigation, after many specialists battery reach a unanimous conclusion to remind friends. Do not nickel hydride metal discharge the sony VGP-BPS2 battery, excessive discharge may cause the failure of pricing to harm is much greater than Ni-MH battery memory effect of the battery itself!

 

8. Auto multimeter test battery is full or not. Ni-MH batteries in general charge before the voltage is below 1.2V, filled with normal voltage is 1.4 V or later. We as a judge, also very easy to judge the condition of the battery.

 

9. Chargers can be divided into fast charge and trickle charge. Low load current is small, typically around 200 mA, such as our common load current is about 160mA. His long-time charge, 1800mAh Ni-MH toshiba PA3399U-1BAS battery should be 16 hours or more. Even if I was a little slow, but the charge would be filled very full, and do not hurt the battery. Fast charge current is usually in the more than 400mA, charging time significantly reducing the number of .3 to 4 hours can manage that, but also won the affection of all. Several types of fast charge, prices vary. Therefore, we often have questions about the same load faster, why the price is a big gap in it? Good charger in particular is a good fast charge brought against over-charging protection function, for example, we have a common understanding Acura Panasonic BQ 390 charger has been particularly noteworthy in this regard, excellent software chip capacity charge the battery while it also brought evil upon the battery, quick charger minimized.

 

10. Conflict: trickle charge does not hurt the battery charging time is too long, however; fast charge can save time, but there is damage to the battery, even if the surface is the world need the best degree Panasonic BQ390 charger only very good harm reduction, but not totally avoided. Contradiction can be resolved is to buy a quick charge and a trickle charge. Quick charge with the load for some time, for example, 5.10 times after the transition to slow Chong Chongdian once or twice. This apple A1078 battery performance to return to a higher state.

 

11. The batteries are commonly used battery, four or six, and this time, to maintain the balance of each cell is very important, otherwise, due to a battery problem has affected the work of the entire battery. First, the battery capacity and ensure consistency, the best place to buy the same brand of the same type of battery time. Then the internal battery power to maintain consistency, simply, is that the electric battery is either full or empty. If there are more groups in the composition of the battery, you can try to “select” look. Means that the specific capacity, similar to the battery voltage and other parameters in one set of battery cells in series, due to poor conditions, under normal circumstances let endpoint measures after the tension and son of red blood on it.

 

12. Speaking on the last charge and discharge.

 

Top of the range of NI-MH Aspire 3000 battery charger with battery test delta-V to determine if the battery is full. When the curve of discharge voltage of the battery and is somewhat similar to the beginning of a more rapid rise, followed by rising slowly until the stuffing is good, the tension began to decline rapidly, but decrease in not very large. Before commonly used nickel, cadmium batteries are also similar, but drop the speed and the amplitude was higher than the NI-MH. Most chargers on the market type (less expensive) is often used is the value of the charge pressure, such as the elderly GP 1.4V Rechargeable value Po is the pressure that is precipitated at 1.4V when the battery voltage, because there is no difference, and charge on the end. Such a result is often that the battery can not be bridged, particularly in some older battery due to increased internal resistance, the real addition to the low voltage battery. And this charger currents tend to be smaller, often charging more than 10 hours. Using Delta-V cutoff automatic charger, since it can precisely control the load time, use may be more reliable high-current load. High charging current nickel-metal hydride battery for damage and do not want to imagine the contrary, the use of DC current, but also require high current load. The first is a matter of time, not talk. Then, Ni-MH battery has a characteristic, that is, the higher your current rate, it can release the most common, and now is tigre DC electric current is not small, so relatively speaking the use of relatively large load current is a choice, you can clean the toshiba PA3191U-4BRS battery is added. General 5 charge current should not exceed 1.5 C, C to the battery capacity is 1000MAH batteries, not more than 1.5A. I usually carried with the load 0.5C (my charger with adjustable current). Discharge zone, in normal circumstances, DC Black can be a burden on Na Qu, NI-MH little memory effect. However, in a period of time after use, and the balance of the cell to activate the battery when the battery discharge and control the termination voltage. NI-MH battery termination voltage of 0.9 V, the discharge time careful not to over-discharge, the 0.9V for each battery when it may stop the rejection file. NI-MH battery is not powerful nickel-cadmium batteries, the overcharge and over discharge and is more sensitive to high temperatures. Charge and discharge temperature. In general, do not let the hp F4809A battery temperature exceeds 45 degrees. When the battery is fully charged, the battery will be hot, filled with large current when the temperature is 42 degrees and not more than 45 degrees, otherwise life will soon be reduced, the battery internal resistance will increase. Also, the load of the battery temperature is higher, and so on until after the cooling of its rechargeable battery, charging money for having to wait for the freshness of the battery. After a long time is not re-using, it is preferable to activate the battery to discharge a few times. Usually used in time to pay attention to maintaining the integrity of the wrapping paper, can not be broken in order to prevent short circuits. Do not fight the impact of the battery, do not fire and so on.
