It''s this blend of efficiency and size that positions lithium-ion batteries as the energy source of choice, ensuring modern devices meet both performance and aesthetic desires.
There''s no such thing as perfect battery technology, and there are a few reasons sodium-ion batteries haven''t taken over from lithium yet. Sodium-ion batteries have a lower voltage (2.5V) than lithium-ion batteries (3.7V), which means they may not be suitable for high-power applications that require a lot of energy to be delivered quickly.
Lithium batteries are more popular today than ever before. You''ll find them in your cell phone, laptop computer, cordless power tools, and even electric vehicles. However, just because all of these electronics use lithium batteries doesn''t mean they use the same type of lithium batteries. We''ll take a closer look at the six main types of ...
