CK,

We run Li-ion batteries at those temps in high vibration and shock =
environments.  I would be hesitant to use off the shelf appliance =
batteries.  See this supplier:

Hello CK,
=20

Not a good idea, it might explode.  I used to live in a dry and hot =
place (Arizona) and I could tell that my cordless phone's Ni-Ca =
batteries last half as long as other states and would die a lot sooner =
too.  Temperatures in car (especially near the dashboard which is =
directly under the sun) can reach 130-140 degrees.  Best place to check =
would be the manufacturers websites.  Here is a table for Li-Ion =
batteries in general:

=20

Check this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lithium_ion_battery

=20

Storage Temperature

40% Charge

100% Charge

0 =B0C (32 =B0F)

2% loss after 1 year

6% loss after 1 year

25 =B0C (77 =B0F)

4% loss after 1 year

20% loss after 1 year

40 =B0C (104 =B0F)

15% loss after 1 year

35% loss after 1 year

60 =B0C (140 =B0F)

25% loss after 1 year

40% loss after 3 months

Subject: [SI-LIST] Use of Li-ion batteries

Hi,

We are planning to use Li-ion batteries for an automobile navigation =
system.

=20

The unit will be placed on the dashboard.

=20

=20

=20

#         I am eager to know if vibration and temperature in the =
vicinity of

car dashboard affects the performance/lifetime of the battery.

=20

#         Can we use the Li-ion batteries used for day-to-day appliances =
for

this purpose?

=20

=20

=20

=20

=20

Thanks and Best Regards
