Why the phone battery drains quickly when the weather is cold

One thing that happens every cold winter is that we suffer from smart phone charging quickly. Many have noticed this but have no explanation for what is going on or what the idea is about what the cold is about to make the battery run fast.

The answer lies simply in the way the batteries work. They depend mainly on chemical reactions, so when temperatures drop dramatically they slow down these reactions and can also slow them down completely.
Lithium batteries in all smart phones that are rechargeable and provide power to the device are discharging the electrical current, such as single lithium batteries, moving in the solution from the positive pole to the negative pole, so that the exhaust of the battery All electrodes are included in porous graphite or what is known as Porous Graphite in the negative pole, while the battery is fully charged so that all electrodes are included in the positive electrode. In fact, there is no idea even for chemists about the effect of the cold in slowing down the reactions that occur within the lithium-ion batteries. But Anne Marie Helmenstine, a chemist with a PhD in biomedical science, says that severe cold causes the battery to slow down and also stops in some cases , Thus causing the power to drain less than the phone needs to remain in operation, and the translation of the phone to the weakness of the discharge process evidence that the battery has been exhausted and the phone will be extinguished soon.
