The demand for Lithium batteries has multiplied exponentially with time and, if anything, is expected to increase at an even higher rate given the that the EV (Electric Vehicle) revolution across the world is gaining mainstream acceptance. This is with good reason, because in almost every way, Lithium-ion batteries are better than their technologically older counterparts.
Let’s go through a few of their advantages
Thermal Efficiency
The inherent structure and chemical composition present in Lithium-ion batteries mean that they are have thermal efficiency. This prevents them from heating up and therefore protects the other components in a device.
Charge Retention
Lithium-ion batteries are great at retaining charge. This means that this kind of battery will go flat much after most other kinds.
Light Weight
Lithium-ion batteries are light. Early mobile phone, laptops and other portable electronic devices had Nickel-Cadmium batteries, which were large, heavy, as well as unreliable. LiBs are none of these things.
Life Expectancy
Lithium-ion batteries have a life-expectancy which is about the same as the devices they power. This means that most consumers needn’t replace them as often as other types of batteries.
Quick Charge and Discharge
Lithium-ion Batteries can charge and discharge much faster than lead-acid batteries. In fairness, they can do this a lot faster than almost any other form of electricity storage.
High Endurance
Lithium-ion batteries have a higher endurance for workload than other kinds of batteries. In terms of efficiency, they can outperform the other types in almost all says including the number of charging cycles.
