High Current Stability and Endurance Make Lithium-Ion Battery Indispensable in Various End-Use Industries

 


A lithium-ion battery, also called Li-ion battery, is a kind of rechargeable battery used in portable electronics. The lithium ions release energy when an electric current is applied to the cell. This provides a steady supply of power to the electronic when needed, and the cell can be recharged. They are becoming more popular for use in hand-held electronic devices and electric vehicles.

In particular, Li-ion portable electronics and hand-held devices are used in U.S. military aircraft, and may be used to power up communications equipment or weapons. In Japan, various start-ups are focused on developing high-performance power packs that could become the next global standard. Recently, the country witnessed the launched its first “big whale” lithium-ion battery powered submarine.

Li-ion cells are made from lithium metal oxide and lithium sulfate. These compounds have a proton exchange capacity of nine times greater than that of ordinary lithium batteries. This allows Li-ion cells to be recharged faster than ordinary lithium batteries. Recharge times of Li-ion batteries are four to five times greater than those of NiCad batteries. And, when recharging becomes constant, this increases the overall capacity of Li-ion batteries.

One benefit of using lithium-ion battery is its high current stability and endurance, making it suitable for use in electric vehicles, golf carts, scooters, motorcycles, snow mobiles, and industrial and other remote applications where high current capabilities are vital. The battery's ability to maintain a high current despite changes in usage makes Li-ion some of the best choices for aviation applications. A Li-ion has the ability to tolerate changes in operating temperature, even fluctuating temperatures. And the Li-ion retains a charge even under heavy discharge, long periods of storage, and extreme conditions.

Li-ions have another major advantage over other battery chemistries - energy density. At high discharge rates, Li-ions are very dense. This results in high energy densities that make Li-ions suitable for many electronic applications. The high energy density is important in helping to keep devices operating at higher speeds and longer periods of time. And, the Li-ion's electrochemical charges have the additional benefit of improving charge performance and cell voltage.

A Li-ion cell can have a mixed circuit or a single circuit. And in recent years, hybrid Li-ion cells have been developed which combine the abilities of both the cathode and the anode in a battery. This new type of cell has the potential to combine the benefits of the cathode and the anode to enhance battery manufacturing capabilities. It is believed that future Li-ion products will combine the cathode and the anode so that the battery can support both electrical and mechanical functions.

Li-ions are a safe way to add high energy storage to an existing electric car. These batteries also offer some advantages over other types of electric batteries. For instance, Li-ions can be recharged multiple times before losing their capacity. And, if your vehicle is equipped with a powertrain management system that manages battery charging, then you could potentially double the usable life of your Li-ions. Because of these unique qualities of Li-ions, they are well suited to both electric and hybrid applications and provide a safer, more eco-friendly option over Ni-Cd and lithium polymer batteries.
