The principle of controlling the self-discharge rate of lithium-ion batteries
Lithium-Ion Battery Self-Discharge Rate Control: The Principles That Actually Work A lithium-ion battery sitting on a shelf is not really sitting still. Every hour, every day, it bleeds charge — silently, invisibly, and relentlessly. This is self-discharge, and it is the single most underestimated killer of battery shelf life, state-of-charge accuracy, and long-term reliability. For…
