How long does it take to charge a lithium battery for the first time?

In terms of international pricing benchmarks, according to the CP data released by Saudi Aramco, the propane contract price (CP) in March was $895 / ton, up $120 / ton from the previous month, up 15.48% from the previous month and up 43.20% from the same period last year. Butane contract price (CP) in March was 920 US dollars/ton, up 145 US dollars/ton compared with last month, up 18.71% month-on-month, up 54.62% compared with the same period last year; In March, CP in Saudi Arabia rose sharply, giving a strong boost to the international and domestic LPG market. Benchmark LPG prices are higher than a year ago as the economy continues to recover and demand for crude oil continues to repair. According to this trend, the market price of lithium battery will also be affected to a certain extent.

Q: Now, whether it is a mobile phone or other equipment, lithium batteries are generally used. How long will the lithium battery be charged for the first time to activate the lithium battery?

A: The maintenance of lithium batteries has always been a controversial issue on the Internet. There are indeed some rechargeable batteries that require similar "activation" work. This is the earlier nickel-cadmium rechargeable battery and nickel-metal hydride rechargeable battery. These batteries will produce a phenomenon known as the "memory effect". Charging in an incomplete discharge state will easily overcharge the battery. Over time, crystals will grow on the electrode plates, blocking the contact between the electrolyte and the electrode plates. Causing the battery's voltage to drop, making the user feel that the battery will be used up soon. So for both types of batteries, periodically (rather than every time) fully discharging and recharging the battery can mitigate the voltage drop caused by the above reasons.

However, most of the batteries used in our mobile phones and laptops are Li-ion batteries. Lithium-ion batteries can store a lot of energy despite their small size, so they are more and more widely used. Lithium-ion batteries do not need to be activated by deep charging and discharging at the beginning of use because the initialization and testing process of the battery is already completed when the battery is manufactured. Lithium-ion batteries also have no so-called "memory effect" and can be recharged at any time. [2] The suggestion that a full charge and discharge of a lithium-ion battery be periodically recharged is only for the purpose of calibrating the charge detection devices on laptops and some high-end smartphones, not for any benefit to the battery itself. For devices such as ordinary mobile phones and digital cameras that display the approximate battery level in segments, there is no need to fully charge and discharge them regularly.

What? Some mobile phone manuals also say so? You should know that the battery of a mobile phone is generally not manufactured by the manufacturer of the mobile phone. This kind of writing on the manual may be to remind the user to test whether there is any problem with the battery. In addition, since nickel-cadmium and nickel-metal hydride batteries do need to be activated, this kind of writing on the manual may also be caused by copying the template.

Russia is a major supplier of industrial metals such as nickel, aluminium and palladium. Russia and Ukraine are both major wheat exporters, and Russia and Belarus produce large amounts of potash, an input to fertiliser. The price and market of the lithium battery will fluctuate under its influence. Prices of these goods have been rising since 2022 and are now likely to rise further because of the Russia-Ukraine conflict.
