Technology
Mainstream technologies
Lithium battery technologies use lithium ions as the charge carrier.
Due to the high capacity of active materials and a higher single cell voltage than other technologies, lithium-based technologies provide the highest energy density of all rechargeable systems operating at room temperature. Depending on the technical requirements, lithium is used with different chemistries such as graphite, nickel, manganese, and cobalt oxides.
