Lithium Batteries: Things to Know About

With the changing technology, more efficient Lithium based batteries are replacing age old Lead-Acid batteries. Be it weight or efficiency, Lithium based batteries are better than the traditional options available. They are lightest options available and offered in different chemistries, such as: Lithium-Ion, Lithium-Iron Phosphate, Lithium Polymer, and a few more.   Lithium-Iron-Phosphate LiFePO4, i.e. Lithium Iron Phosphate, batteries are gaining immense popularity. They are safest types of Lithium batteries as they do not overheat and do not catch fire even after getting punctured. The cathode material in these batteries is not dangerous. Apart from that, they do not have any negative health hazard or environmental impact. The battery do not catches fire because the oxygen is bonded tightly to the molecule and hence provides a much safer solution than Lithium-ion batteries. The LiFePO4 batteries feature a stable chemistry and can even accept a charge from a lead-acid con...
