Lithium ion batteries are the ideal energy supply for all types of mobile devices with medium and high energy requirements. Here you can be impressed by their advantages – they are smaller, lighter and more efficient than nickel cadmium or nickel metal hydride batteries. Now we find these batteries made as packs even in numerous industrial uses and in the area of electro mobility e.g. motorised bicycles or electric cars.
Today we distinguish between different lithium systems: + Round lithium ion cells with fixed casings + Prismatic lithium ion polymer cells with fixed casings + Prismatic lithium ion polymer cells with flexible casings + Button cell batteries with lithium ion technology
Today there are numerous different types of batteries which can be distinguished via various combinations of positive and negative electrode materials. Using these combinations you can define the significant characteristics such as capacity, cycle strength and high current ability. Numerous nanotechnologies are put into practice here.
Some examples are + Lithium cobalt dioxide LiCoO2 + Lithium manganese dioxide LiMnO2 + Lithium iron phosphate LiFePO4
