Lithium batteries have an impact on cruising range in cold winters.
The working principle of lithium-ion batteries is that the internal electrolyte changes through chemical reactions, and a potential difference occurs between the positive and negative electrodes, thereby generating current. In a low-temperature environment, the electrolyte moves very slowly, which affects the transfer activity of lithium ions between the positive and negative electrodes, resulting in a decrease in battery charge and discharge performance.
Simply put, in a low-temperature environment, it is not that the lithium battery is really out of power, but that it has power but cannot be released normally. According to analytical data, the capacity of ordinary lithium batteries will be reduced by 20% at zero degrees Celsius, and when it reaches minus 10 degrees Celsius, the capacity may be only about half.
