What Actually Happens Inside a LiPo Battery During Fast Charging?

Inside a LiPo battery, fast charging is far more complicated than simply “pushing more current.” When charging current increases, several electrochemical and thermal processes begin happening simultaneously inside the cell — and some of them can permanently damage the battery if not properly controlled.
