One of the newest technologies in rechargeable batteries. It can deliver 4 times the capacity of the standard NiCD battery. Advantages are that they are very light weight, have smaller cells, and have increased capacity. They are used in a lot of today's cellphones and computers, however they tend to be a little more expensive.
A type of rechargeable battery that was originally developed for use with camcorders, and is now used as a power source for some digital still cameras
(Li-ion) - A rechargeable battery technology that provides about a 10-15% improvement in charge per pound over nickel metal hydride. Since introduction in 1993, lithium ion has become the most popular battery technology for notebooks, and it is widely used in cellphones and other handheld devices.
A battery technology used in personal mobile phones. Lithium-ion batteries generally provide more energy capacity than Nickel Metal Hydride batteries of the same weight.
A popular variety of rechargeable battery that retains the ability to charge fully after extended use and can be charged at any time (doesn't have to be fully discharged).
A battery technology used in mobile phones. Lithium-ion batteries generally last longer than Nickel Metal Hydride batteries.
A type of a battery composed of Lithium, the lightest metal and the metal that has the highest electrochemical potential. Because of its lightness and high energy density, Lithium-Ion batteries are ideal for portable devices, such as phones and notebook computers. In addition, Lithium-Ion batteries have no memory effect and do not use poisonous metals, such as lead, mercury or cadmium.
Name for an electrochemical cells whose voltages are derived from the electropotential difference of lithium in the anode and cathode. The electrolyte contains lithium ions that are transferred between the anode and cathode on charge and discharge. Unlike earlier systems, lithium-ion does not use unstable lithium metal as the anode material.
