A portable power supply has become the lifeline of the modern technological world. Especially the lithium-ion battery. Today there are various types of batteries based on the application in which they will be used. These visuals show the famous applications for each kind of battery technology. And it is clear from this chart, that lithium-ion batteries invented back in the year 1991, are popular with over 35 % of energy storage. In this article, we will tell what are lithium-ion batteries, what are their benefits and why lithium-ion batteries will continue their domination. Interested? Continue reading..
What is a lithium battery?
Lithium-ion battery aka Lithium battery is a type of advanced lithium-ion rechargeable battery. They are considered as one of the safest and most affordable types of batteries available in the market. 3.2 voltage is the nominal voltage of the lithium iron battery as compared to other batteries, especially the lead acid batteries.
Lithium-ion battery are considered as one of the highly regarded batteries for their long life and resiliency compared to other types of batteries.
Benefits of Lithium-ion Batteries:
Lithium-ion batteries can entertain you with a vast number of benefits. Such batteries have great safety features and do not explode under harsh conditions. Some benefits of LiFePo4 batteries are listed below:
1.Reliable:
Lithium-ion batteries are the most reliable and safest types of battery. Built-in isolation transformers (for high load adaptability), redundancy designs, and are highly preferred for solar and other types of inverters.
2.Maintenance:
No or little active maintenance is required for Lithium-ion batteries. Furthermore, such batteries do not show memory effects. You can store such Lithium-ion batteries for an extended period of time (due to the fact of low self-discharge).
3.Abundant configuration:
Lithium-ion batteries can support simultaneous access of load, power grid, battery, PV as well as diesel. They are easy to integrate and the built-in system of Bypass switches aids in improving the availability of the system.
4.Efficient:
Lithium-ion batteries are highly efficient and can carry jobs well as compared to other types of batteries. Moreover, their fast charging and discharging rates cause them to be an ideal fit for all types of applications.
Why will Lithium-ion batteries continue their domination?
The metal used in Lithium-ion batteries is no doubt Lithium (a lightweight metal) and holds great electrochemical potential. This allows the Lithium-ion batteries to continue their domination in the coming era.
