What happens if I use 24V instead of 12V?

Using 24V instead of 12V often results in significant risks and potential damage to equipment. The voltage requirements of the device must be matched to the appropriate power source. If higher voltage is required, make sure the device is clearly rated for voltage to avoid these problems. If a higher voltage source is required to power a 12V device, a buck converter or regulator should be used to reduce the voltage to a safe level.

Therefore, you would need 20 lithium-ion cells in series to create a 72V battery pack.

Lithium iron phosphate battery
Nominal voltage per battery: 3.2V
Fully charged voltage of each battery: 3.65V
Nominal voltage configuration: 72V (battery)/3.2V (cell) ≈ 22.5, so rounded to 23 cells in series (23S configuration)
Full charge voltage configuration: 23 batteries * 3.65V (full charge voltage of each battery) = 83.95V
Therefore, you would need 23 LiFePO4 cells in series to create a 72V battery pack.

If you add parallel strings to increase capacity (Ah), the total number of cells increases.

How to charge a 48V battery?

First of all, choose the correct voltage, 48V lithium battery, usually 13S 54.6V charger. Using the wrong voltage charger may damage the battery or cause safety hazards.

Connect the charger: Connect the charger's positive (+) and negative (-) leads to the corresponding terminals on the battery, avoiding reverse connections.

Plug in the charger: After connecting the charger to the battery, plug it into a standard electrical outlet or power source.

Most battery chargers have an indicator light or LED light to indicate charging status. Monitor these indicators to ensure the charging process is proceeding properly.

Also, always charge the battery in a well-ventilated area and avoid overcharging or undercharging as this will reduce battery performance and lifespan.

How do batteries work when charging?

When a battery is charged, a chemical reaction occurs within the battery, converting electrical energy from an external source into chemical energy stored within the battery.

When you connect a battery to a charger, current flows from the charger to the battery.

The positive electrode (anode) and negative electrode (cathode) inside the battery are separated by an electrolyte. During charging, lithium ions flow between the electrodes through the electrolyte.

Charging Stage 1: Constant Current (CC): In the initial stage of charging, the charger applies constant current (CC) to the battery. This current flows through the battery and causes ions to migrate from the positive electrode to the negative electrode (discharge reaction) and from the negative electrode to the positive electrode (charge reaction).

Charging Stage 2: Constant Voltage (CV): As the battery's charge increases, its voltage increases. Once the battery reaches a predetermined voltage set by the charger, the charger switches to constant voltage (CV) mode. In this mode, the charger maintains a constant voltage at the battery terminals while reducing the charging current. This helps prevent overcharging and minimizes heat generation.

The amount of power a battery can store depends on its capacity, which is measured in Ampere-hours (Ah) or Watt-hours (Wh). Charging a battery increases its state of charge (SOC), indicating how much capacity it currently has.

Charging Complete: Once the battery reaches a fully charged state, the charging process is complete. The charger may use a light or other means to indicate this. At this point, the battery is ready for use and the charging current is typically reduced to trickle charging to maintain the battery's charge level.

Lithium-ion batteries: High energy density, typically 150-200 Wh/kg, suitable for applications where space and weight are critical, such as smartphones and laptops.
LiFePO4: Energy density is low, typically around 90-120 Wh/kg. This makes them larger for the same capacity, but is generally acceptable in applications where weight and size are less important.

Lithium-ion batteries: Typically 500-1000 charge-discharge cycles, depending on specific chemistry and usage conditions.
LiFePO4: Longer cycle life, typically around 2000-3000 cycles or more, making them ideal for applications requiring long-term reliability.

Lithium-ion batteries: Performance degrades at both high and low temperatures, typical operating range is -20°C to 60°C.

What happens if I use the wrong lithium battery charger?

Lithium-Ion Batteries: If a lithium-ion battery is charged with a charger designed for a different voltage, the safe voltage limit (typically 4.2V per cell) may be exceeded. This can lead to overheating, expansion, and even thermal runaway, leading to fire or explosion.
LiFePO4 Batteries: Overcharging beyond safe limits (typically 3.65V per cell) can damage the battery, shorten battery life, and potentially lead to safety hazards.

Undervoltage: Using a charger with a lower voltage than required can result in undercharging, meaning the battery does not reach its full capacity. This may result in reduced runtime and overall performance.

Incomplete charge cycles: Repeated undercharging can also result in incomplete charge cycles, which may ultimately reduce the battery's capacity over time.

Quality chargers often include safety features such as overvoltage protection, temperature monitoring, and cell balancing to help maintain the health and safety of your battery.

Always use a charger designed for your lithium battery type and invest in high-quality charging equipment.
