Temperature plays a crucial role in OPzV battery charging and performance:
- High Temperatures: Increase self-discharge and accelerate aging; chargers should reduce voltage in hot conditions.
- Low Temperatures: Slow down chemical reactions, reducing charge acceptance; chargers should increase voltage in cold conditions.
- Thermal Runaway Risk: Overcharging in high temperatures can lead to excessive gas formation and potential battery failure.
Using temperature-compensated chargers helps maintain efficiency and battery health.
