Causes of Gecenpower lithium iron phosphate battery terminal corrosion

What is lithium iron phosphate battery terminal corrosion?

Lithium iron phosphate battery terminal corrosion refers to the phenomenon of corrosion on the surface of the connecting terminals of lithium iron phosphate batteries (usually parts made of metal) as a result of a reaction with moisture, chemicals, or other factors in the external environment. This corrosion may lead to oxidation, corrosion, or sulfidation on the surface of the terminals, and the formation of these substances will reduce the conductivity of the terminals and increase the resistance, thus affecting the charging and discharging efficiency of the battery and the overall performance.

Corrosion of lithium iron phosphate battery terminals is usually caused by exposure of the battery terminals to humid environments and electrochemical reactions with moisture in the air, chemicals, or contact with other metals. For example, battery terminals may react with airborne water vapor, acids, or salt water, resulting in oxidation or corrosion of the metal surface.

Corrosion of lithium iron phosphate battery terminals may lead to poor connection, increased resistance, impeded current transmission, and even affect the safety performance of the entire battery system. Therefore, for lithium iron phosphate batteries, it is very important to clean and prevent corrosion in time.

Preventive measures

In order to avoid corrosion of lithium iron phosphate battery terminals, we can take the following preventive measures:

Keep dry environment: Try to avoid exposing the battery to a humid environment for a long time, you can choose to use a well-sealed battery storage box or environment to keep the battery dry.

Avoid exposure to chemicals: Prevent the battery terminals from coming into contact with acidic substances or salt water, especially in outdoor activities or work, extra care is needed.

Regular Inspection and Cleaning: Regularly check the condition of the battery terminals, and clean the battery terminals as soon as you find signs of corrosion to prevent the corrosion from intensifying.

Choose high-quality batteries: Choose lithium iron phosphate batteries with guaranteed quality, which can reduce the risk of battery terminal corrosion.

Terminal Coating: Applying a layer of anti-corrosion coating or anti-oxidizer on the battery terminals can prolong the life of the battery and reduce the possibility of corrosion.
