Learn MoreLithium is a very light metal with high energy density, this property enables the battery to be light in weight and provide high current with a small form factor. Energy density is the amount of energy that can be stored in per unit volume of the battery, the higher the energy density the smaller the battery will be.
A lithium-ion 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.
Lithium-ion battery operates between 3.0V and 4.2V. Outside this range, the capacity, life, and safety of the battery will degrade. When below 2.4V, the metal plates of the battery will be eroded, which may cause higher impedance, lower capacity and short circuit. When over 4.3V, the cycle life and capacity will be hurt.
Manufacturing a kg of Li-ion battery takes about 67 megajoule (MJ) of energy. The global warming potential of lithium-ion batteries manufacturing strongly depends on the energy source used in mining and manufacturing operations, and is difficult to estimate, but one 2019 study estimated 73 kg CO2e/kWh.
When charging, lithium-ion batteries typically use a current rate of 0.5C to 1C, where “C” represents the capacity in amp-hours. Thus, for a 100Ah battery, this translates to a charging current of 50 to 100 amps. However, most manufacturers recommend a lower charging current to prolong battery life, often around 0.2C for optimal performance.
Energy density is often a more relevant indicator than capacity in practical applications. Current lithium-ion battery technology achieves energy densities of approximately 100 to 200 Wh/kg. This level is relatively low and poses challenges in various applications, particularly in electric vehicles where both weight and volume are restricted.
