This repository contains my research on what Li-ion batteries are, how they work and how i created a battery managment system for these cells must have the following components in-order to charge/discharge the li-ion battery saftely:
- Overcharge
- Over-discharge
- Discharge too quickly
li-ion batteries are highly dangerous. They can catch fire or explode if mishandled. Proceed with caution at your own risk.
Its a secret🤫, do not tell anyone. They are lithium ion batteries.
- Lithium ion battery is an advanced battery technology that uses lithium ions as key component of its electrochemical reaction.
- I will discuss about the process in detail in the respective topic guide.
- Right now just remember that the lithium ions move from the negative electrode through an electrolyte to the positive electrode during discharge, and back when charging.
The 18650 cells are Lithium-ion battery. Lithium-ion battery is a type of rechargeable battery.
The first prototype of the Li-ion battery was developed by Akira Yoshino. in 1985, based on the research by John Goodenough, M.Stanley Whittingham, Rachid Yazami and koichi Mizushima during 1970-1980s.
The first commercial batteries were developed by sony and Asahi Kasei team led by Yoshio Nishi in 1991. For more information click here.
Due to the advantages the li-ion batteries have displace the Ni-Cd batteries in portable electronic devices like laptops and smart phones.
These batteries are also help in millitary and aerospace applications.
