Lithium-ion battery
OverviewHistoryDesignBattery designs and formatsUsesPerformanceLifespanSafety
A lithium-ion battery or Li-ion battery is a type of rechargeable battery that uses the reversible intercalation of Li ions into electronically conducting solids to store energy. Compared to other types of rechargeable batteries, they generally have higher specific energy, energy density, and energy efficiency and a longer cycle life and calendar life. In the three decades after Li-ion batteries were first sold in 1991, their volumetric energ
