The pretreatment to modify the valence of cobalt by discharging at 0.2 C rate for 7.5 h before the first initial activation charge process is effective in improving the surface electronic conductivity among fine particles of positive electrode active materials. The discharge curves indicate the same locus within 1800 cycles, and the capacity of the pretreated battery is stable for over 4000 cycles. However, in-situ cell pretreatment with constant current has negative influence on other components. During the constant current pretreatment, the cell voltage rapidly falls to −0.5 V in the first 10 s of in-situ pretreatment. Therefore, we investigate the pretreatment by supplying a constant voltage to the battery instead of a constant current, and find the effective condition to improve the electrochemical performance and not to have any influence on other components of the battery.
