THE PROBLEM IS WITH YOUR CHARGER, NOT YOUR BATTERY CELLS Introducing iontra The concept of a battery cell is similar to that of a cell in the human body. Our body's cells are specialized to conduct electrical currents using charged elements called ions, to generate electricity. Quite the same way, lithium battery cells also transmit ions between electrodes. In your lithium batteries, the materials that make up the positive and negative electrode lose structural integrity after repeated charging and discharging. Charging causes mechanical stresses that result in fractures and non-uniform desorption of lithium. Over time, the battery stores less energy, takes longer to charge, and becomes less safe due to heat production and internal instability. Product makers are dependent on battery cell manufacturers to develop and introduce new battery cells in order for product performance to improve. This typically takes years of development and testing to complete. iontra provides you with an alternative option for improving the way charging is done by maximizing the performance of today’s lithium batteries.
