About the lithium-ion battery

The lithium-ion (Li-Ion) battery is a rechargeable battery containing lithium-ion cells.
Each battery contains an integrated electronic fuel gauge and a safety protection
circuit.
The following are facts about lithium-ion battery technology:
The battery discharges on its own, even when it is not installed in the equipment.
●
This discharge is the result of the lithium-ion cells and the bias current required
for the integrated electronics.
The capacity loss of the battery degrades significantly at higher temperatures.
●
As the battery ages, the full-charge capacity of the battery degrades and is
●
permanently lost. As a result, the amount of charge that is stored and available
for use is reduced.
