Lithium-ion batteries - additional information
Thanks to the excellent ratio of the amount of stored energy to mass, they are now used in all types of electronic equipment, such as laptops or mobile phones. Robotics and electronics engineers also like to use them as an energy source. Li-Ion cells can easily power many of your projects.
Li-Ion batteries - Advantages and characteristics
Lithium-ion batteries have a big advantage that lithium-polymer batteries lack - they have a uniform, standardized housing shape . Polymer batteries are distinguished by their freedom of shape, but this makes it difficult, for example, to prototype new devices. However, the standard shape of a lithium-ion battery can be easily modeled in a graphics program. Lithium-ion batteries are often used as stationary energy storage for renewable energy sources (these are characterized by unstable operation). Currently, this type of energy sources are used in electric cars such as Tesla Roadster or Nissan Leaf. Replacement of lithium-ion batteries due to their service life is very rare.
Advantage of Li-Ion batteries over other solutions
The decisive advantage of Li-Ion batteries over the recently used NiMH batteries is approximately twice the energy capacity (comparing cells of the same size and weight), as well as longer battery life. Another great advantage is the lack of the so-called memory effect, known from older models of mobile phones, in which, after purchase, the phone had to be discharged and fully charged three times for the battery to function properly and as efficiently as possible. Lithium-ion batteries are usually sold as a single cell of various sizes (depending on energy capacity). In addition, lithium-ion batteries in many devices are connected to a system that constantly monitors the depth of discharge. This solution further extends the life of lithium-ion batteries.
