Understanding the Disadvantages of Constant Current Battery Charging
How Does Constant Current Charging Affect Battery Lifespan? Repeated exposure to unmodulated currents accelerates chemical wear, shortening cycle life. For example, lithium-ion batteries charged this way lose capacity faster due to lithium plating on anodes. A 2020 study showed a 15% capacity drop after 300 cycles with constant current, versus 8% with adaptive charging. Heat … Read more
