In the use of lithium batteries, it should be noted that the battery is placed for a period of time after entering a dormant state, at this time the capacity is lower than the normal value, the use of time is shortened. But lithium battery is very easy to activate, as long as after 3-5 normal charge-discharge cycles can activate the battery, to restore normal capacity. Lithium-ion batteries have almost no memory effect due to their very nature. Therefore, the new lithium battery in the user's mobile phone in the activation process, does not require special methods and equipment.
For the lithium battery "activation" problem, many say: the charging time must be more than 12 hours, repeated three times, in order to activate the battery. This "the first three times to charge more than 12 hours", obviously from the nickel battery (such as nickel cadmium and nickel hydride) continued to say. So it was a misrepresentation to begin with. Lithium battery and nickel battery charge and discharge characteristics are very different, and can be very clear to tell you, I have consulted all the serious formal technical data have emphasized that the charge and discharge will cause great harm to lithium battery, especially liquid lithium ion battery. Therefore, it is best to charge in accordance with the standard time and standard method, especially do not charge for more than 12 hours (the charger display is full).
In addition, the lithium-ion battery or charger will automatically stop charging when the battery is fully charged, and there is no "trickle" charge that can last more than 10 hours as the nickel charger is called. In other words, if your lithium-ion battery is fully charged, it will be charged for nothing in the charger. And none of us can guarantee that the characteristics of the battery's charge and discharge protection circuit will never change and the quality is safe, so your battery will be in the dangerous edge of wandering for a long time. This is another argument against long charging.
In addition, another aspect that can not be ignored is that the lithium battery is also not suitable for overdischarge, overdischarge is also very unfavorable to the lithium battery.
