Pre-charge as a key step in the battery manufacture processes, which has a great impact on the film-forming properties and electrochemical performances, especially the Li-rich system batteries. As a key influence factor, it is necessary to clarify the effect of pre-charge temperature on battery performance. In this paper, we mainly studied the influence of different pre-charge temperatures (25°C, 40°C, 60°C) on the gas production and electrochemical performance of the batteries. The results show that the increase of the pre-charge temperature will result in the increase of gas production, and the gas components are mainly CO2, H2. After the long-term cycle, the sample under 40°C maintains the highest capacity retention rate, and as the pre-charge temperature increases, the median voltage of the battery can be effectively increased. In addition, compared with room temperature pre-charge, high pre-charge temperature samples have more excellent rate performance.
