What's mean battery Shorted Cells(1)? What's mean
battery Shorted Cells(1)? Applying momentary high-current bursts in an attempt to repair shorted cells has had limited success. The short may temporarily evaporate but the damage to the separator material remains. The repaired cell often exhibits a high self-discharge and the short frequently returns. Replacing a shorted cell in an aging pack is not recommended unless the new cell is matched with the others in terms of voltage and capacity. Otherwise, an imbalance may occur. One may remember the biblical verse "No one puts a patch of unshrunken cloth on an old garment. . ." or "No man would put new wine into old wineskins. . ." (Mt 9.16-17). Attempts to replace faulty cells have commonly lead to
battery failures after about six months of use. It is best not to disturb the cells in a battery pack but allow them to age naturally. Maintaining the batteries while they are still in good working condition will help to prevent premature failure. Shorts in a Li-ion cell are uncommon. Protection circuits monitor an ailing Li-ion cell and render the pack unusable if serious voltage irregularities are detected. Charging such a pack would (protection circuit permitting) generate excess heat. The
battery's temperature control circuits are designed to terminate the charge. more info:
