Is it harmful if a lithium battery gets wet in the rain?
1 Answers
Lithium batteries are prone to short circuits when exposed to water. Here is some relevant information about batteries: 1. Working Principle: A battery, also known as a storage battery, is a type of cell that converts chemical energy into electrical energy. Typically, the term 'battery' refers to lead-acid batteries, which are mainly made of lead and its oxides, with sulfuric acid solution as the electrolyte. 2. Maintenance Methods: Avoid storing the battery in a discharged state. A discharged state means the battery was not recharged promptly after use, which can lead to sulfation. Lead sulfate crystals may form on the plates, blocking ion channels and resulting in insufficient charging and reduced battery capacity. The longer the battery remains idle in a discharged state, the more severe the damage. When the battery is not in use, it should be charged once a month to extend its lifespan.
