What are the advantages of lithium batteries compared with other batteries?
2023-11-20
Lithium Battery is a commonly used rechargeable battery, which is mainly composed of Lithium Battery Cells. The lithium battery cell is the most important component of the lithium battery. It is responsible for storing and releasing electrical energy and is the "heart" of the battery. It has several advantages over other types of batteries. Lithium Batteries have high energy density. Energy density refers to the energy stored per unit mass or volume of a battery. In comparison, the energy density of lithium batteries is much higher than other types of batteries, such as nickel-cadmium batteries and lead-acid batteries. This means that lithium batteries can store more energy, allowing electronic devices to work longer, be more portable, and reduce the frequency of battery replacement. Lithium batteries have a low self-discharge rate. Self-discharge rate refers to the rate at which a battery discharges itself when in storage or idle. Lithium batteries have a lower self-discharge rate compared to nickel-metal hydride and nickel-cadmium batteries. This is useful for spare batteries or equipment that is used infrequently, as they can be kept in a shed or warehouse for long periods of time without the need for regular charging. Lithium batteries have a long life. Lithium batteries have a longer service life than other types of batteries. Lithium batteries are ideal for devices that are used for long periods of time and recharged repeatedly, such as electric vehicles and wearable devices. Lithium batteries have the characteristics of rapid charging and discharging. Lithium batteries charge and discharge faster than other types of batteries, such as nickel-metal hydride batteries. It is especially important for those who need to use their devices frequently, as it can shorten charging time and increase work efficiency. In addition to the above-mentioned advantages, there are also lower weight and lower pollution and environmental impact. Lithium battery cells can be combined into lithium-ion battery packs of various forms and capacities. Common battery pack forms are series and parallel. Series connection is to connect multiple lithium battery cells together according to a certain voltage connection method, so that the voltage is accumulated; parallel connection is to connect multiple lithium battery cells together according to a certain current connection method, so that the current is accumulated.
