Battery capacity is a measure of the amount of energy a battery can store and deliver. It is typically measured in ampere-hours (Ah). The operating temperature of a battery significantly influences its capacity and overall performance.

Impact of Temperature on Battery Capacity:

1. Electrochemical Reactions:

   – Temperature Sensitivity: Batteries rely on chemical reactions to store and release energy. These reactions are temperature-sensitive, with both high and low temperatures affecting their efficiency.

   – Optimal Range: Batteries have an optimal temperature range where these reactions occur most efficiently. Deviation from this range can reduce capacity and performance.

2. Low Temperatures:

   – Reduced Reaction Rates: At low temperatures, the rate of electrochemical reactions slows down, reducing the battery’s ability to deliver energy.

   – Increased Internal Resistance: Cold temperatures can increase the internal resistance of the battery, further limiting its capacity and performance.

3. High Temperatures:

   – Accelerated Degradation: High temperatures can accelerate the degradation of battery materials, reducing capacity over time.

   – Thermal Runaway Risk: Excessive heat can lead to thermal runaway, a dangerous condition where the battery overheats uncontrollably.

4. Impact on Safety and Longevity:

   – Safety Concerns: Extreme temperatures can compromise battery safety, leading to potential hazards such as leakage, swelling, or even explosions.

   – Reduced Lifespan: Frequent exposure to temperatures outside the optimal range can shorten the battery’s lifespan by causing irreversible damage to its components.
