1. A method, comprising:
manufacturing a battery that includes a negative electrode, an electrolyte, and a positive electrode;
forming lithium pillars in the negative electrode by charging the battery with a first charging current;
terminating the charging of the battery;
discharging the battery with a first discharge current; and
charging the battery with a second charging current having a value that forms a homogenous lithium layer in the negative electrode adjoining the lithium pillars.
