FAQ

1. What is a AAA battery a lithium battery?
The AAA Battery is a small cylindrical cell battery of alkaline, lithium, or Ni-MH composition.

2. Is there any danger to a lithium battery?
Damaged or unstable batteries and improper charging, storage or disposal can cause the batteries to overheat, leading to an explosive, aggressive fire that spreads rapidly, can reignite and is challenging to extinguish. Lithium-ion battery fires are very dangerous.

3. Which battery is safest?
Today, lithium-ion is one of the most successful and safe battery chemistry available.

4. What are the 3 types of batteries?
There are three different types of batteries that are commonly used - Alkaline, Nickel metal Hydride (NiMH), and Lithium Ion. The use of different metals and electrolytes in these batteries gives them different properties which means they are suited to different contexts.

5. Which type of battery is best?
Lithium, an exceptionally light metal, gives lithium batteries the highest energy density of any battery cell. Thus, they can store more energy than alkaline batteries or any single-use battery of a comparable size.

6.Should I charge my lithium battery after every use?
Unlike other types of batteries that need to be recharged throughout their storage time, lithium batteries do better at 40%-50%DOD (depth of discharge). Pro-Tip: After every 30 charges, allow your lithium based battery to completely discharge before recharging. This helps to avoid a condition called digital memory.

7.How do you keep lithium batteries healthy?
Charge or discharge the battery to approximately 50% of capacity before storage. Charge the battery to approximately 50% of capacity at least once every six months. Remove the battery and store it separately from the product. Store the battery at temperatures between 5 °C and 20 °C (41 °F and 68 °F).

8.Why is it bad to store lithium batteries fully charged?
Lithium batteries suffer from stress when keeping a cell at a high charge voltage. Exposing the battery to a full state-of-charge for an extended time can be more stressful than cycling. Table above demonstrates capacity loss as a function of temperature and SoC.

9.Is it better to store lithium-ion batteries charged or uncharged?
Lithium-ion must be stored in a charged state, ideally at 40 percent. This prevents the battery from dropping below 2.50V/cell, triggering sleep mode. Discard Li-ion if kept below 2.00/V/cell for more than a week.

10.How long will a 100 amp hour lithium battery last?
A battery's amp hour rating is based on a consistent load of 5 amps. What that means is that a 100 amp hour battery that has a constant load of 5 amps on it should last 20 hours.
