What Factors Can Impact the Battery’s Cycle Life and Capacity Retention?
Battery cycle life and capacity retention are influenced by factors like temperature extremes, charging/discharging rates, depth of discharge, chemical degradation, and usage patterns. High temperatures accelerate chemical reactions that degrade electrodes, while frequent full discharges strain battery structure. Optimizing charge cycles (20-80% range) and avoiding extreme conditions can extend lifespan. Lithium-ion batteries typically retain 80% … Read more
