Lithium battery charged to 4 5

Can I use a 4.2V charger for a lithium ion battery?

The good news is that nearly all batteries you will encounter are going to be 4.2V. And you can use a 4.2V charger for both lithium ion and lithium ion polymer. If you ever encounter a 4.35V battery, you can always use a 4.2V charger: it'll charge it up to 4.2V which is perfectly safe. We carry two chargers in our store (at this time).

What is the maximum charge rate of a lithium ion battery?

For instance: LiPo Battery: Nominal voltage of 3.7V, 2200mAh capacity, maximum charge rate of 2C. Li-ion Battery: Nominal voltage of 3.6V, 3000mAh capacity, maximum charge rate of 1C. LiFePO4 Battery: Nominal voltage of 3.3V, 1500mAh capacity, maximum charge rate of 0.5C.

Is it possible to charge a battery with 4.2V?

I only hear it's possible to charge one if you use 4.2V, but that's only, because a higher voltage means higher current and therefor it could overheat and of course if you charge it for too long it will break it, because you are stressing the capacity.

How long does a lithium battery take to charge?

With that, you can plug your values into Formula 2. In this example, your estimated charge time is 8.42 hours. Using Formula 1, we estimated this same setup to have a charge time of 8 hours. Because lithium batteries are more efficient, factoring in charge efficiency doesn't affect our estimate as much as it did with a lead acid battery.

Are lithium batteries rechargeable?

Lithium 4.5V batteries can also be rechargeable, although this is less common. If you need the extra power and longevity that lithium provides, a rechargeable lithium-ion 4.5V battery can be a great option. If you’re unsure, check the packaging or product description for a clear indication of whether the battery is rechargeable.

What voltage is a lithium-polymer battery?

I recently came across a device (a headlamp) with lithium-polymer battery, which is marked 3.8 V nominal voltage, instead of usual 3.6-3.7 V. It's charging circuit is based on ME4057D chip, which is a 1 A lithium battery charger.
