The number one enemy of lithium-ion batteries is heat. We have discussed this in previous blog posts in which we detailed something known as a 'thermal runaway', a chemical reaction that generates heat quickly enough to cause a lithium-ion battery to fail. The point of discussing this is to remind you that you should.

Customer ServiceThere are a couple different "Li Ion" battery chemistries with different needs. Typically car and motorcycle batteries are lithium iron batteries. These have less power but are much more stable. On the other hand, the batteries for RC planes are some of the highest energy densities you can buy, handle those things like hot potatoes. I know guys
Customer ServiceThe temperatures in your car are very unlikely to cause lithium ions to self ignite. There''s a bunch of studies to be found, read through this example which found that an ambient temperature of 169c cause self ignition and venting of 18650 packs.
Customer ServiceThe following steps should make it very easy for you to charge your battery and can be used on any cart model on the market today: Place your battery on a normal charger in your storage area; Wait for the battery to fully charge – this may take a few hours; Remove the battery and test its charge to ensure it is full
Customer ServiceYou should never leave lithium-ion batteries in your car – any time of year. But understand that doing so is a lot riskier in the summer. Internal car temperatures can easily exceed 140°F during the hottest summer months. That kind of heat can cause problems for batteries and adversely affect their useable life.
Customer ServiceUsing Eco driving mode on long summer journeys will significantly save the vehicle''s operating range, as electric cars use more energy when emitting heat. That means helping electric cars limit the number of charges, thereby
Customer ServiceThe main reason why high summer temperatures can damage your car battery is due to the chemical reaction that occurs inside it. Internal temperatures in your engine compartment can reach 140°F or higher during a heat wave. As the temperature rises, the liquid catalyst-electrolyte inside the battery starts to evaporate, which can damage the

Customer ServiceIt’s no wonder that many drivers end up getting stranded on the roadside during the summer months. Plus, even if your battery survives the summer, heat damage can reveal itself during the winter months when additional cranking power is needed to start your vehicle.
But in the summer, the temperature frequently climbs to above +30 °C. High temperatures lead to self-discharge of the battery, which causes the battery to age faster. This process goes unnoticed in summer and autumn, but when the engine needs more energy to start in winter, difficulties often occur.
Nevertheless, wear and tear ultimately affects the ageing process and thus the service life of the battery. Drivers believe that the cold harms a battery, but it is actually heat which causes failure. An outside temperature of +20 °C is optimal for a car battery. But in the summer, the temperature frequently climbs to above +30 °C.
And it’s not just about the air temperature damaging your battery. Those scorching summer temperatures can really crank up the heat under the hood, causing your vehicle’s battery to fail even faster. It’s no wonder that many drivers end up getting stranded on the roadside during the summer months.
We have learned that summer heat causes damage to the battery and that higher temperatures increase the level of chemical reaction. This is true for temperatures above 20 °C. If temperatures drop below 20 °C, the chemistry inside the battery slows down.
Internal temperatures in your engine compartment can reach 140°F or higher during a heat wave. As the temperature rises, the liquid catalyst-electrolyte inside the battery starts to evaporate, which can damage the battery’s internal structure and cause the lead plates in the battery to corrode, resulting in reduced battery life.
