How To Choose Lithium Batteries For Summer Cooling Garments?

The following key factors need to be considered when selecting lithium batteries for summer cooling garments:

1. Battery capacity

Capacity Requirement:  Calculate the required capacity based on the power and usage hours of the garment. For example, if the cooling jacket has a power of 10W and is used for 5 hours, a battery capacity of at least 50Wh is required.

Capacity Selection: Choose a battery with a capacity slightly higher than the calculated value to cope with the extra demand.

 

2. Discharge rate

Discharge Capacity: Ensure that the discharge rate (C-rate) of the battery can meet the high power demand of the cooling garment to avoid overheating or damage.

 

3. Battery type

Li-ion VS. Li-polymer: Li-polymer batteries are lighter, flexible in shape, and suitable for wearable devices; Li-ion batteries are high-capacity and low-cost, but heavier.

 

4. Safety

Protection circuit: Choose the battery with over-charge, over-discharge, short circuit and overheat protection circuit to ensure safety.

Temperature adaptability: Ensure the battery can work stably in high temperature environment to avoid the risk of overheating.

 

5. Weight and size

Portability: Choose a lightweight and small-sized battery to ensure comfortable wearing.

 

6. Charging time

Fast charging function: choose a battery that supports fast charging to shorten the charging time.

 

7. Brand and quality

Reliable brand: choose a well-known brand to ensure quality and after-sales service.

 

8. Price

Cost-effective: choose cost-effective batteries under the premise of meeting the needs.
