As a result, the voltage in the cell rises – this is known as over-charging. On the one hand, this is harmful to the battery and bad for its life span. On the other hand, it can pose a safety risk for the user. The excess energy leads to heat generation. “In the worst case, this can lead to a so-called ‘thermal runaway’.
Avoid excessive charging or discharging to ensure safety and efficiency. The risks of complete discharge include voltage drop and potential battery failure. A battery that is fully discharged may become unstable. This instability can lead to risks such as overheating or even leaking.
Lithium-ion batteries contain chemical compounds that can degrade with deep discharges. When a battery is fully discharged, the voltage drops to a level that can cause irreversible damage to the electrodes. This damage reduces the battery’s ability to hold and deliver a charge, leading to shortened overall lifespan.
In order to operate lithium-batteries safely and optimize their life span, they should not be over-charged or deep discharged. What happens when a battery is over-charged? If neither the charger nor the protection circuit stops the charging process, then more and more energy enters the cell.

Understanding how to safely discharge lithium-ion batteries requires knowledge of best practices and the importance of proper handling. Avoid Deep Discharging: Avoid deep discharging lithium-ion batteries. Deep discharging occurs when a battery is drained to a very low state of charge, usually below 20%.
