Heat’s Impact on Battery Voltage and Current: Effects on Capacity and Life
Heat affects battery voltage and current. Higher temperatures can boost capacity but raise self-discharge rates. Voltage varies with temperature, ranging from 2.74 volts per cell at -40°C to 2.3 volts at 50°C. Excessive heat also increases internal resistance and leads to performance degradation, impacting battery life and efficiency. Conversely, low temperatures can cause battery voltage … Read more
