Why Doesn't The Heating Function Of My Core Battery Work?
Unfortunately, when the heating function of your Core lithium battery doesn’t work, there could be a variety of reasons behind the problem. The issues might stem from a damaged battery or external factors unrelated to the lithium battery itself. It may require some trial and error as well as battery troubleshooting to uncover the underlying cause.
What Are The Factors Affecting The Function Of Heating?
1. Not meeting the activation conditions for the individual battery's self-heating function.
2. Not meeting the activation conditions for the heating film when two or more batteries are connected in parallel.

For a single battery, please verify whether the following conditions are met:
1. Voltage Difference: The voltage difference between the external charging device's charging voltage and the battery voltage is greater than 0.8V.
2. Necessary Current for Heating Film: The charging device can provide a continuous and stable charging current (recommended to be greater than 15A).
3. Temperature Conditions: The internal temperature of the battery is below 41°F/5°C and above the minimum operating temperature (-4℉/-20℃) of the heating film.
------Possible Results------
Positive: All the above conditions are simultaneously met, but the heating function is not activated. It is determined as a battery heating film malfunction. Please refer to the after-sales process.
Negative: The above conditions are not simultaneously met. Please ensure that all the above conditions are met before retesting.
For a battery bank, please verify whether the following conditions are met:
1. Voltage Difference: The voltage difference between the external charging device's charging voltage and the battery voltage is greater than 0.8V.
2. Necessary Current for Heating Film: The charging device can provide a continuous and stable charging current (recommended to be greater than 15A).
3. Temperature Conditions: The internal temperature of the battery is below 41°F/5°C and above the minimum operating temperature (-4℉/-20℃) of the heating film.
4. Voltage Difference Between Batteries: The voltage difference between the two batteries needs to be higher than 0.8V for the heating films of both batteries to operate simultaneously.
------Possible Results------
Positive: All the above conditions are simultaneously met, but the heating function is not activated. It is determined as a battery heating film malfunction. Please refer to the after-sales process.
Negative: The above conditions are not simultaneously met. Please ensure that all the above conditions are met before retesting.
