I. WHAT IS A LITHIUM BATTERY?
A Lithium Battery is a type of battery that utilizes lithium compounds as its electrode material and is rechargeable (also known as a secondary battery). This battery type typically has a superior energy density compared to many other battery types, hence its widespread use in electronic devices like mobile phones, notebook computers, etc. The Lithium Battery is classified into several types, including the Lithium-Ion Battery, Lithium Polymer Battery, detached Lithium Battery, and integrated Lithium Battery.
