Can you use the Xbox One S controller without batteries?

 

Yes, it works without batteries when connected by cable. It really depends on how much time you spend using the wired or wireless controller. If you use it mostly wired, as you almost always will, go wired.

 

Can you use a lithium battery trickle charger?

 

The lithium-ion battery is easy to charge. It is important to note that trickle charging is not acceptable for lithium batteries. Li-ion chemistry cannot accept overcharging without damaging the cell, possibly depositing lithium metal and becoming dangerous. However, trickle charging is a useful option.

 

Why do lithium batteries need a special charger?

 

A Lithium LiFePO4 charger is a voltage limiting device that shares similarities with the lead-acid system. Differences from Li-Ion are higher voltage per cell, tighter voltage tolerances, and no floating or floating charge when fully charged.

 

What is the difference between a lithium battery and a lithium-ion battery?

 

Lithium batteries have a primary cell construction. This means that they are single-use or non-refillable. Ion batteries, on the other hand, have a secondary cell construction. This means they can be recharged and used again and again.

 

When should a lithium-ion battery be charged?

 

Battery experts recommend that lithium-ion batteries be almost completely discharged after 30 charging processes. Continuous partial discharges create a condition called digital memory, which reduces the accuracy of the device's power reading. So let the battery discharge to the shutdown limit, then charge it again.

 

Can a lithium-ion battery be revived?

 

All is not lost as you can revive them. If you have a balance charger for charging LiPo batteries, it will likely revive your lithium-ion cells as well. Allow them to fully charge, then remove them from the charger. Let them sit overnight or a few days and see if they have lost their charge.

 

Should you always charge your phone to 100?

 

Best thing to do: plug it in when the phone is between 30% and 40% charged. Phones quickly reach 80% when fast charging. Unplug at 80-90% as charging to 100% using a high voltage charger can put some strain on the battery. Keep your phone battery between 30% and 80% charged to extend its life.
