Who is Battery Degradation?

Battery Degradation is when a battery starts to lose its power over time, like a toy that gets slower and slower at playing.

Imagine you have a remote-controlled car that you love to drive around the house. Every day, you use it, and it zooms across the floor with joy. But after a while, you notice that it doesn’t go as fast or as far as before, it needs more pushes from your hand to keep moving. That’s battery degradation in action.

Think of a battery like your best friend who helps you run around the playground during recess. At first, they can run with you for hours. But after many days of running and playing, your friend gets tired, they can’t keep up as well anymore. That’s just like how a battery loses its ability to hold charge over time.

Every time you use your remote-controlled car or any device with a battery, it does some work. This work makes the battery a little bit tired. After many uses, the battery can’t do as much work, that’s why your toy gets slower. It's like your friend after playing all day, they just need more rest!
