Increased Heat Generation: High discharge rates elevate the internal temperature of the battery. Excessive heat can accelerate wear and tear, potentially leading to premature failure. Reduced Effective Capacity: The effective capacity of the battery diminishes because a significant portion of the energy is lost as heat.
Charging and Discharging Definition: Charging is the process of restoring a battery’s energy by reversing the discharge reactions, while discharging is the release of stored energy through chemical reactions. Oxidation Reaction: Oxidation happens at the anode, where the material loses electrons.
The change of the battery discharge voltage is related to the discharge system, that is, the change of the discharge curve is also affected by the discharge system, including: discharge current, discharge temperature, discharge termination voltage; intermittent or continuous discharge.
This phenomenon is due to increased internal resistance and inefficiencies that arise under high discharge conditions. Slower Discharge: On the other hand, a slower discharge rate allows the battery to use its capacity more efficiently, extending its runtime and overall effectiveness.
Keep the discharge power unchanged, because the voltage of the battery continues to drop during the discharge process, so the current in the constant power discharge continues to rise. Due to the constant power discharge, the time coordinate axis is easily converted into the energy (the product of power and time) coordinate axis.
At the same time, the end voltage change of the battery is collected to detect the discharge characteristics of the battery. Constant current discharge is the discharge of the same discharge current, but the battery voltage continues to drop, so the power continues to drop.
