I want to know the reason for the lower current limit in the case of charging Li-ion battery than discharging case. Could you please answer to make me understand well the battery limitations?
Lithium-ion batteries have a lower current limit when charging than discharging because of the internal structure of the battery. During discharge, lithium ions move from the negative electrode to the positive electrode. However, during charging, lithium ions cannot all move to the positive electrode. A part of lithium ions must be retained at the negative electrode to ensure that lithium ions can be smoothly inserted into the channel during the next charging. Otherwise, battery life will be shortened (battery charging - Lithium-ion charge cutoff - Electrical.....).
According to Battery University, Li-ion cannot absorb overcharge. When fully charged, the charge current must be cut off. A continuous trickle charge would cause plating of metallic lithium and compromise safety. To minimize stress, keep the lithium-ion battery at the peak cut-off as short as possible (Lithium Ion Battery Charging And Discharging....).
I hope this helps you understand better.
