numerous advantages in everyday use, such as a low weight and high capacity in a
nevertheless compact construction. In addition these batteries also exhibit practically
no memory effect. However, these batteries are susceptible to a natural aging process
which impairs their functionality.
Modern batteries today have a lifespan of around 500 charge cycles, which, when used
daily, corresponds to a service life of approximately two years. The ageing process in-
creases rapidly after this period, which means that the batteries are deemed technically
defective after 500 charge cycles. Moreover, the battery cells could expand and cause

able batteries with lithium cells should be replaced after two years at the latest or after
reaching a battery capacity that is 50% of its initial value.

sembled and they should not be burned or exposed to temperatures exceeding 60 °C.
