Why do rechargeable batteries deteriorate over time?
In: Engineering
It’s like everything in life, nothing lasts forever. In simple terms, batteries are said to “age”, just like everything ages.
The compounds that make up the battery, the chemicals, deteriorate, become different compounds, and are no longer able to charge and discharge cleanly. So, over time, the compounds no longer work, and the battery stops working like in the beginning.
