<div align=justify>What if a battery is inadvertently overcharged? What if a <A href="http://www.good-battery.co.uk">battery </A>is inadvertently overcharged? Li-ion <A href="http://www.good-battery.co.uk">batteries </A>are designed to operate safely within their normal operating voltage but become increasingly unstable if charged to higher voltages. On a charge voltage above 4.30V, the cell causes lithium metal plating on the anode. In addition, the cathode material becomes an oxidizing agent, loses stability and releases oxygen. Overcharging causes the cell to heat up. Much attention has been placed on the safety of the Li-ion <A href="http://www.good-battery.co.uk">battery</A>. Commercial Li-ion battery packs contain a protection circuit that prevents the cell voltage from going too high while charging. The typical safety threshold is set to 4.30V/cell. In addition, temperature sensing disconnects the charge if the internal temperature approaches 90°C (194°F). Most cells feature a mechanical pressure switch that permanently interrupts the current path if a safe pressure threshold is exceeded. Internal voltage control circuits cut off the battery at low and high voltage points. Exceptions are made on some spinel (manganese) packs containing one or two small cells. On overcharge, this chemistry produces minimal lithium plating on the anode because most metallic lithium has been removed from the cathode during normal charging. The cathode material remains stable and does not generate oxygen unless the cell gets extremely hot. more info:<A href="http://www.good-battery.co.uk">www.good-battery.co.uk</A> </div>
