Lithium ion battery, example of Rechargeable World

The invention of rechargeable batteries is a great progress. They benefit us in aspects of saving budget, environmental protection, and long time usage for various appliances. At present, rechargeable batteries are generally classified into nickel cadmium, nickel metal hydride, lithium ion, lead storage and lithium iron batteries.

Of all types, a lithium iron battery is a good example of rechargeable world. A Li-ion battery is one type of lithium batteries which refer to batteries that contain Lithium including metal Lithium, Lithium alloy and Lithium ion, Lithium polymer, etc. It is generally classified as lithium metal and lithium ion types. Lithium metal batteries are non-rechargeable with metal lithium; lithium ion ones, rechargeable without metal lithium. Lithium batteries are widely used in products such as portable consumer electronic devices.

Features of lithium ion battery

1. No metal lithium. It is not subject to the plane transport ban on lithium battery.
...
... 2. Long cycle lifetime. Generally, the charging and discharging of a lithium ion battery can be more than 500 times.
3. No memory. Here "memory" refers to capacity decrease in recharge of such batteries as nickel cadmium battery
4. High density of energy
The weight of a lithium ion battery is about half that of the nickel cadmium batteries of the same capacity
5. High voltage
The working voltage of a monomer is about 3.7 V (average), equivalent of 3 series of nickel cadmium batteries.
6. No harmful metal, such as cadmium, lead, mercury, etc.

With technology development, the technique of rechargeable batteries will bring more and more amazement and convenience to our lives.
