Advantages and disadvantages of lithium-ion batteries
Advantages of lithium-ion batteries
Lithium-ion battery (Li-ion, Lithium lon Battery): Lithium-ion battery has the advantages of light weight, large capacity, and no memory effect, so it has been widely used. Many digital devices now use lithium-ion batteries as power sources. The price is relatively expensive. The energy density of lithium-ion batteries is very high, its capacity is 1.5~2 times that of nickel-metal hydride batteries of the same weight, and it has a very low self-discharge rate. In addition, lithium-ion batteries have almost no "memory effect" and no toxic substances.
It is also an important reason for its wide application.
In addition, please note that the lithium battery is generally marked with English 7.2V lithium ion battery (lithium battery) or 7.2V lithium secondary battery (lithium primary battery), 7.2V lithium ion rechargeable battery (rechargeable lithium battery), so users must be careful when purchasing batteries. See the marks on the surface of the battery block clearly, and avoid mistaking the nickel-cadmium and nickel-hydrogen batteries for lithium batteries because you do not see the battery type clearly.
The no-memory effect greatly facilitates mobile phone users. Donkeys do not need to discharge and recharge each time they are charged, but can charge the mobile phone at any time as they like.
Lithium-ion battery disadvantages
The disadvantage of lithium batteries is that they are expensive, so they cannot be widely used at present. They are mainly used in handheld computers, PDAs, communication equipment, cameras, satellites, missiles, instruments, etc. With the development of technology, the improvement of technology and the increase of production capacity, the price of lithium batteries will continue to decline, and the application will become more common.
