Lithium-ion cells gradually discharge even when they are not connected to anything. Some self-discharge is normal. However, excess self-discharge indicates potentially catastrophic problems within the ...
Researchers at a Tesla-funded battery research facility in Halifax, Canada, have discovered by chance what’s causing Li-ion batteries to self-discharge. Thanks to their discovery, a very simple ...
Self-discharge is a normally occurring phenomenon in lithium-ion battery cells. A normal cell may have a self-discharge rate of 1% state of charge (SOC) per month. The normal self-discharge rate is ...
