Advantages and Disadvantages of Lithium-ion Battery

Advantages:

• 1. High voltage (The working voltage of a single battery can reach 3.7V-3.8V, which is three times that of NiMH batteries and NiCd batteries)
• 2. High specific energy (That is, the electrical energy stored per unit volume or unit weight is large);
• 3. Long cycle life;
• 4. Good safety performance;
• 5. Environmentally friendly and pollution-free;
• 6. No memory effect during charging and discharging;
• 7. Low self-discharge;
• 8. Fast charging;
• 9. Wide operating temperature range (-20℃~60℃).

Disadvantages:

• High cost;
• Not resistant to overcharge and discharge;
• High failure rate;
• A certain amount of heat will be generated during use;
• Lithium-ion batteries require multiple protection mechanisms;
