- Page 6 Discharge characteristics of Battery Unit Nominal Operating Temperature Range Lithium-ion batteries operate over a wide temperature range; however, this does not imply that any type of usage is allowed for all conditions. The charging process of lithium-ion batteries is more sensitive than discharging and therefore charging is limited to only be allowed at temperatures over 0°C and below 45°C.
- Page 7 Number of cycles @ 25°C and 0.2C DoD [%] Storage and Self-Discharge The LITE Battery Unit has an expected calendar life of more than 12 years. During storage, lithium-ion batteries will gradually self-discharge. The rate of self-discharge increases with increasing temperature and SoC. To maximize service...
