Abstract:
A method of charging a battery includes applying a charging voltage to a lithium-ion battery for a period of time after the battery is fully charged. The battery includes a positive electrode having a positive active material, a negative electrode having a negative active material, and an electrolyte. The negative active material includes a lithium titanate material and has a capacity that is less than that of the positive electrode. The charging voltage is greater than a fully charged voltage of the battery, and applying the charging voltage for the period of time is sufficient to cause a zero volt crossing potential of the battery to increase to above a decomposition potential of the positive active material.

Claim (Index 35):
The method according to  claim 31 , wherein the lithium titanate comprises LiM\u2032XO 4 , wherein M\u2032 is a metal comprising nickel, cobalt, iron, manganese, vanadium, copper, chromium, molybdenum, or niobium, and X comprises zirconium or titanium.
