Battery FAQ 6-10

6.Can lithium batteries be directly spot-welded?

Spot-welding a lithium battery directly can damage the internal separators, insulating layers, and other resin materials due to overheating. This can cause the battery to leak, and the heat generated by internal short circuits may lead to explosions or even fires. Even if the battery is not deformed during spot-welding, leaks and other damages caused by long-term use can also damage the components connected to the battery.

7.Can lithium batteries be forcibly discharged?

Forcing a primary battery to be charged can cause gas generation, resulting in expansion, heat generation, leakage, explosions, or even fires.

8.Can lithium batteries be disassembled or compressed?

Forcing a battery to be disassembled can produce gas, causing throat irritation, and lithium metal can generate heat or even fires. Deformation due to compression and impact can cause damage to the sealing, leading to leakage, internal short circuits, expansion, heat generation, leakage, explosions, or fires.

9.Can lithium batteries be mixed with other batteries?

Mixing different types of batteries or using new and old batteries together can cause differences in voltage, capacity, and other characteristics, leading to over-discharge, depletion of battery capacity, and resulting in expansion, explosions, or even fires.

10.Can lithium batteries come into contact with water?

No, they should not. Contact with water can cause corrosion or the generation of flammable gases.
