Lithium iron phosphate battery, abbreviated as LFP battery, is a common type of lithium-ion battery. Compared with other lithium-ion batteries, its main characteristics are long lifespan, high safety, good cycling performance, strong low-temperature performance, and no pollution. However, even such an optimized battery may fail after prolonged use.
Some obvious damages, such as expansion and leakage, may be easily visible. If there are cracks at the edges of the battery or if there is a liquid leak inside the battery, it indicates that the battery is damaged. Do not operate the battery in this situation, it should be replaced in a timely manner.
Use a multimeter or digital multimeter to test the battery voltage. If the battery voltage is below the standard voltage range, there is a high probability of battery damage.
Place the battery in a closed environment, such as a plastic bag, and then let it recharge. Then observe the temperature changes of the battery. If the battery temperature rises too quickly, there is a possibility of battery damage.
Use reliable charging and discharging devices to take turns charging and discharging the battery, and monitor the current and voltage of the battery. Observe whether the battery experiences voltage abnormalities, overheating, etc. during the cycling process.
The above methods are commonly used to detect whether lithium iron phosphate batteries are damaged, but we should also regularly maintain the batteries to extend their service life. If the battery is excessively discharged or charged, it may lead to battery damage. If you suspect that your battery is damaged, you should replace it promptly to ensure normal use.
