How Does a Lithium-ion Battery Work?

Published by BSLBATTNov 19,2019

Power to go—that’s the promise batteries deliver. They give us all the convenience of electricity in a handy, portable form. The only trouble is, most batteries run flat very quickly and unless you use a specialized charger, you then have to throw them away. It’s hard on your pocket and bad for the environment as well: worldwide, we throw away billions of disposable batteries every single year. Rechargeable batteries help to solve this problem and the best kind of use a technology called lithium-ion. Your cellphone, laptop computer, and MP3 player probably all use lithium-ion batteries. They’ve been in widespread use since about 1991, but the basic chemistry was first discovered by American chemist Gilbert Lewis (1875–1946) way back in 1912. Let’s take a closer look at how they work! What is a lithium-ion battery? What features does it have? A lithium-ion battery is a type of rechargeable battery that is charged and discharged by lithium ions moving betwee...

New lithium batteries make electric forklifts an even more viable alternative to diesel vehicles. Electric forklifts have been around for years, but some recent developments with both battery technology and an introduction of more powerful forklifts have made the industry more receptive to the idea of switching over. The lithium-ion forklift battery is poised to revolutionize the materials handling industry. And when you compare the pros and cons of the lithium battery vs. lead-acid battery for powering your forklift or fleet of lift trucks, it is easy to understand why. The biggest reason is that the potential cost savings are enormous. It’s true that lithium forklift batteries do cost considerably more than lead-acid batteries, but they last 2-3 times longer and create dramatic savings in other areas that guarantee you a significantly lower total cost of ownership. “Major companies in big industries, such as the automotive industry, are driving the development in part because o...

With the continuous development of social science and technology, under the current situation of promoting energy conservation and environmental protection in the world, there are more and more energy-saving products on the market. For the forklift market, the coverage of electric forklifts is becoming wider and wider. For the purpose of traditional forklifts, electric forklifts are characterized by quietness, no pollution, low cost of use, long service life and low maintenance. At present, most of the batteries used in forklifts are lead-acid batteries, but they have gradually been replaced by lithium batteries. Therefore, the advantages of using a lithium battery in a forklift truck are numerous. However, there are still many technical bottlenecks in the development of lithium batteries, so what are they? It should be emphasized that the difference between a lithium battery forklift and a conventional electric forklift is not only as simple as replacing a battery. Wisdom Power ...

Rechargeable lithium -ion batteries are commonly used as power sources for portable electronics and implanted medical devices. Though more expensive than ordinary alkaline batteries, lithium batteries have a significantly longer lifespan. Rechargeable lithium -ion batteries have a long list of real-world applications beyond running the apps on your phone. From life-saving medical equipment to luxury yachts, lithium batteries keep both the essentials and the comforts of modern life running with safety and reliability. Here are the top uses for rechargeable lithium -ion batteries– from facilitating daily activities to providing essential emergency support: Emergency Power Backup Or UPS (Uninterruptible Power Supply) Having a lithium battery for an emergency power backup or UPS protects you from traditional power loss or instability. It is different from a generator or other emergency power backup in that it provides nearly instant power in order to run (or safely shut down) the eq...

When it comes to batteries, lithium-ion has established itself as a superior alternative to lead-acid. More widely used in commercial applications around the world, lithium-ion is gaining momentum in the United States beyond its traditional mobile technology foothold. Consumers looking to power their applications should know the key elements that differentiate lithium batteries from lead-acid. Why Lithium-ion? Compared with traditional battery technology, lithium-ion batteries charge faster, last longer, and have a higher power density for more battery life in a lighter package. When you know a little about how they work, they can work that much better for you. Next time you’re selecting a power source, consider that lithium-ion is: Efficient And Cost-Effective While lithium batteries typically command a higher price tag than lead-acid, they also offer 80% (or higher) usable capacity – with some reaching 99% – providing more actual power per purchase. Lead acid’s dated technology...

Lithium ion technology is frequently being pushed into new frontiers, and those advancements are increasing our potential to live more environmentally-friendly and economically-savvy lives. Let’s take Tesla’s Powerwall, a lithium-ion home battery, for example. The product gained swift popularity and notoriety since it was announced in 2015, and now the first long-term user reviews are trickling in. The reviews are mixed when it comes to the product’s usability and financial opportunity, but one thing is universal: the product is a good idea. The Powerwall is a battery bank designed to store electricity from solar panels or other sources, and then act as an emergency power supply or an additional power source during peak electricity usage times — when using the power grid is expensive. Using lithium batteries to offset a consumer’s power demand isn’t a new concept—we offer that solution ourselves—but the availability of products like this can change how people interact with their ...

Charging and discharging batteries is a chemical reaction, but Li-ion is claimed to be the exception. Battery scientists talk about energies flowing in and out of the battery as part of ion movement between anode and cathode. This claim carries merits but if the scientists were totally right, then the battery would live forever. They blame capacity fade on ions getting trapped, but as with all battery systems, internal corrosion and other degenerative effects also known as parasitic reactions on the electrolyte and electrodes till play a role. Lithium-ion batteries are considered to be far better than other battery chemistries, but the same as any other batteries. They can’t escape the fact that they can’t stay all day long to power heavily used gadgets or devices. These batteries will require recharging at some point which can be very frustrating to users. What more if the charger is missing or broken? Here we are going to provide you a guide on how to charge a lithium-ion batte...

One of the hottest topics these days is alternative energy. With the ever-growing population increase, energy demand is also increasing every day. Non-renewable energy sources are limited and not friendly to the environment, and their increase or decrease in production can have a direct impact on inflation. On the other hand, alternative power sources are sustainable, renewable, environmentally friendly and, not to mention, abundant. Unlike fossil fuels, they are not going to expire soon as they are constantly replenished. But like fossil fuels, alternative energy sources also have had their own shortcomings. They are highly dependent on weather, and any significant atmospheric change can reduce its production. Though we are not in the best position to completely switch over to renewable energy anytime soon, getting a relatively good portion of our daily energy consumption from these sources can definitely have a positive impact on your finances and the environment. While the ene...
