Benefits of Lithium-Ion Battery
Is Lithium-ion battery ideal for your
Electronic appliances?
Yes. Lithium-ion battery has higher energy density, low self-discharge and capacity than other
rechargeable batteries which makes them ideal. Lithium technologies have
become popular and valuable in powering electronic like laptops and cell
phones. Lithium ion batteries are among the lightest options for applications
where weight is a consideration. Today,
lithium-ion is the fastest growing and most promising battery chemistry.

Tell me about the main benefits of
Lithium-ion battery?
See, Lithium is the lightest of all metals, and has
the greatest electrochemical potential (It is the electromotive force of a cell built of two electrodes) and provides largest energy density for weight.
Because of the inherent instability
of lithium metal, especially during charging, research shifted to a
non-metallic lithium battery using lithium ions.
Even though it has lower energy
density than lithium metal, lithium ion is safe provided certain precautions
are taken while charging and discharging
The energy density of lithium-ion
is typically twice that of the standard nickel-cadmium. There is potential for
higher energy densities. The load characteristics (Load characteristics are
the most direct and critical influential factors that are relatively active,
such as the increasing speed of load, load type, static and
dynamic characteristics of load, and so on) are reasonably good and
behave similarly to nickel-cadmium in terms of discharge. The high cell voltage
of 3.6 volts allows battery pack designs with only one cell. Most of today's
mobile phones run on a single cell. A nickel-based pack would require three
1.2-volt cells connected in series
Lithium-ion is a low maintenance
battery, and there is no memory or scheduled cycling is required to extend battery’s
life. Not only that its self-discharge is less than half when compared to
Nickel-Cadmium making lithium ion safe for modern fuel gauge applications.
Lithium-ion
cause little harm when disposed which is a great boon for our new irritated
eco-system
Now let’s take a look at main
benefits of Lithium-ion
- High
energy density - potential for yet higher capacities.
- Does
not need prolonged priming when new. One regular charge is all that's
needed.
- Relatively
low self-discharge - self-discharge is less than half that of nickel-based
batteries.
- Low
Maintenance - no periodic discharge is needed; there is no memory.
- Specialty
cells can provide very high current to applications such as power tools.
Its limitations are
- Requires
protection circuit to maintain voltage and current within safe limits.
- Subject
to aging, even if not in use - storage in a cool place at 40% charge
reduces the aging effect.
- Transportation
restrictions - shipment of larger quantities may be subject to regulatory
control. This restriction does not apply to personal carry-on batteries.
- Expensive
to manufacture - about 40 percent higher in cost than nickel-cadmium.
- Not fully mature - metals and chemicals are changing on a continuing basis.
Here we are constantly improving lithium-ion. New
and enhanced chemical combinations are introduced every six months or so. With
such rapid progress, it is difficult to assess how well the revised battery will
age.
