Hi again, HKJ.
As always, thanks for your posts. They are really interesting.
Keeping in mind the information shown on this post, and the information shown on this old post, ( Charger settings ), are these sentences right?
Please confirm them for clarity sake.
1) Charging Li-ion cells to 4,1V means cells will have more lifetime, but less energy.
2) Charging Li-ion cells to 4,25V means cells will have less lifetime, but more energy.
3) Termination current high will make voltage drop after termination high.
4) Termination current low will make voltage drop after termination low.
5) Charging a cell to 4,2V with low current termination will give more performance than charging the same cell to 4,2V with high current termination.
6) The best possible charge to obtain maximum performance from a Li-ion cell is to charge it to 4,25V, and a very low termination current. (Forget about cell lifetime).
And some questions:
It is really interesting to go to 0,025A termination current, or even lower in big capacity cells (forget about charge times) or it doesn´t worth it?
Do you recomend to modify termination current setting, depending on the capacity of the cell?
For example:
5000mAh cells -> 0,125A termination current.
4000mAh cells -> 0,1A termination current.
3000mAh cells -> 0,075A termination current.
2000mAh cells -> 0,05A termination current.
1000mAh cells -> 0,025A termination current.
Again, thank you very much for your work.
