The optimal environment for LiPo batteries depends on what you do with them.
- Optimal performance: 50 °C to 60 °C. This also means that this is the temperature at which the cell Internal Resistance (IR) is the lowest.
- Storage temperature: 10 °C to 20 °C. At 10 °C or below, do not charge the cells at more than 4.1V/Cell
The problem now is - as we can't heat up the cells to 50 °C for our testings - to find the coefficient to apply to the temperature at the moment of measuring the cells.
Quote found on the internet of someone having spent quite some time with this topic:
My personal internal resistance number for high performance cells is 12000 / cell capacity, when measured after stabilization at room temp (~21C) for 1 hour minimum.. Anything around or below this number I consider to be outstanding performance.
See the attached Graph for an idea on what influence temperatures have. Also - this graph was taken from the following thread
This is what the Computation will be based on, after applying the correction factor for the temperature.
