Hello i have a noobquestion: does a polymer ion battery lose capacity faster when charged and discharged at the same time??
TESL@ said:Yes, they are designed to be discharged and charged consecutively.
CWatters said:How is it possible to charge and discharge a battery at the same time? Current is either entering or leaving the battery (or neither).
Battery capacity loss refers to the gradual decrease in the amount of charge a battery can hold over time. This is a natural process that occurs as a battery is used and recharged.
There are several factors that can contribute to battery capacity loss, including usage patterns, temperature, and age. The more a battery is used and recharged, the more it will experience capacity loss. Extreme temperatures, both hot and cold, can also accelerate this process. Additionally, as a battery ages, its capacity will naturally decrease.
While it is inevitable that a battery will experience some capacity loss over time, there are steps you can take to slow down this process. This includes avoiding extreme temperatures, not overcharging or fully draining the battery, and using the battery regularly rather than letting it sit idle for long periods of time.
No, battery capacity loss is a permanent process and cannot be reversed. However, taking care of your battery and following best practices can help slow down the rate of capacity loss.
As a battery experiences capacity loss, it will not be able to hold as much charge as it used to. This means that the battery will need to be charged more frequently or may not last as long on a single charge. When this becomes significantly noticeable and starts to impact the functionality of your device, it may be time to replace the battery.
