Safety issues of high voltage lithium ion battery pack and how to deal with them

With the popularity of electronic products such as electric vehicles, drones, and smartphones, high voltage lithium ion battery pack, as their main energy source, are attracting more and more attention. The safety issues of high voltage lithium ion battery pack also arise. Overcharging, over-discharging, short circuit and other conditions may lead to safety accidents of the battery pack.

Safety issues of high voltage lithium ion battery pack

1. Overcharging

Overcharging means that the voltage of the battery pack exceeds its rated voltage when charging, causing the chemical reaction inside the battery pack to go out of control and generate excessive heat and gas, leading to safety accidents such as explosions or fires. The cause of overcharging may be charger failure, internal failure of the battery pack, long charging time, etc.

2. Over discharge

Over-discharge means that the voltage of the battery pack is lower than its rated voltage during discharge, causing the chemical reaction inside the battery pack to go out of control and generate excessive heat and gas, thereby causing safety accidents such as explosions or fires. The cause of over-discharge may be internal failure of the battery pack, excessive use time, etc.

3. Short circuit

Short circuit refers to the direct contact between the positive and negative electrodes inside the battery pack, which causes the chemical reaction inside the battery pack to go out of control and generate excessive heat and gas, thus causing safety accidents such as explosions or fires. The cause of the short circuit may be internal failure of the battery pack, external damage, etc.

How to deal with the safety of high voltage lithium ion battery pack

1. Overcharging problem

①Use a suitable charger and avoid using a charger that does not meet the requirements;

②Install an overcharge protection device that automatically cuts off charging when the battery pack voltage exceeds the rated voltage;

Control charging time to avoid charging for too long;

③Check the charging status of the battery pack regularly to ensure that the battery pack is in a normal charging status.

2. Over discharge problem

①Install an over-discharge protection device to automatically cut off discharge when the battery pack voltage is lower than the rated voltage;

②Control the use time and avoid using it for too long;

③Check the discharge status of the battery pack regularly to ensure that the battery pack is in a normal discharge status.

3. Short circuit problem

①Install a short-circuit protection device to automatically cut off the circuit when a short circuit occurs inside the battery pack;

②Avoid external damage to the battery pack and regularly check whether there is any external damage to the battery pack;

③Regularly check whether there are any internal faults in the battery pack and replace faulty parts in a timely manner.

In addition, the following measures can be taken to improve the safety of the battery pack:

①Choose high-quality battery pack products and ensure that the products meet relevant standards; As a manufacturer of high voltage lithium ion battery pack, Pytes continuously improves the safety of battery packs and provides reliable energy security for the development of electronic products.

②Regularly maintain and inspect the battery pack to detect and deal with problems in a timely manner;

③Avoid leaving the battery pack in a high or low temperature environment for a long time;

④Protect the battery pack from vibration or shock.
