Technical paste: phone / notebook battery Why would explode?

Compared with other secondary battery technology, lithium-ion battery is lighter, cheaper, and higher energy density. It has become now the main form of rechargeable batteries, from cell phones, laptops to cars and various items of business jets in the use of lithium-ion batteries. This battery has a small problem - they are not only short-circuit, also caught fire and exploded. Consider the following Gizmodo website introduction:

The lithium-ion battery is the reason why there will be an explosion tendency, is called a "thermal runaway" process (thermal runaway) to blame. In essence, "thermal runaway" is an energy positive feedback loop process: the elevated temperature will result in the system heats, the system heats at elevated temperatures, which in turn, make the system more heat. Thermal runaway is a very common phenomenon, from the concrete curing (heat) will release a large number of physical and chemical processes of stellar explosion (supernova is a product of cosmic thermal runaway), are likely to appear thermal runaway.

The lithium-ion battery thermal runaway. Such as both ends of a 9V battery is a coin bridging the tear film-like isolation of the anode and cathode of the lithium-ion battery will cause a short circuit, short circuit often will cause thermal breakdown. The cause of the fire of the lithium-ion batteries also include: ambient temperature exceeds 60 ° C, often overcharge unauthorized modification shell.

Whatever the reason, cobalt oxide experienced this reaction are battery chemicals. Valence Technology R & D vice president Joe La Mule (Joe Lamoreux) explained: "If you heat the chemicals reach a certain temperature, it begins to self-heating, and then developed into a fire and explosion." In some case, such an organic electrolyte releasing the pressure will cause the cell to rupture. If exposed to high temperature environment, or is experiencing a spark, it may also will burn.

Although this uncontrollable reaction does not happen often, but the base number of the lithium-ion battery is too large, we feel that such incidents often occur. For example, in 2006, almost all the major laptop manufacturers - Apple, Hewlett-Packard, Toshiba, Lenovo, Dell and other companies - have received a report of a small amount of battery overheating condition recall products. Single apple a 9 report in the recall of 1.8 million units PowerBook and iBook. More importantly, the number of the battery size, configuration and the battery cell (cell) will affect the intensity of thermal runaway. Small battery pack (such as digital SLR cameras) are only a few battery power, thermal runaway propagation from the battery unit to the other unit is relatively low. And 787 huge battery pack is another matter: they are packed in sealed metal box, which can not be discharged waste heat, the result is that when a battery unit hot enough to ignite the electrolyte, and the rest of the battery unit will quickly with into.

But you also do not need to worry too much. Your notebook is not a ticking time bomb. To do some maintenance on a regular basis, the lithium-ion battery will be safe and reliable work. Lithium-ion life is not long, generally two to three years can be maintained (whether you use it). Because of this, all of the lithium-ion battery pack should be about every 36 months on the replacement. Moreover, whenever the charge is reduced to 50% of the time, you should can it enrich my knowledge. No memory effect of lithium-ion, but the voltage is too low will make them serious damage.
