A Lithium-ion battery is a type of rechargeable battery first proposed by M STANLEYWHITTINGHAM at Exxon in the 1970s. Li-ion batteries are commonly used for portable electronics, energy storage, and electric vehicles and are growing in popularity for military and aerospace applications.
ADVANTAGES:-
- Higher energy density
- Relatively low self-discharge (less than half of the nickel-based batteries)
- Low maintenance no periodic discharge is needed. – no periodic discharge is needed.
- Specialty cells can provide very high current to applications such as power tools.
- Long cycle life up to 2000 (LiFePO4).
- A high voltage of up to 3.7V (NMC)
Exegi Batteries, one of the leading lithium-ion battery manufacturers in India, is a trendsetter in producing battery designs that are not just efficient but also come at an affordable price range. Over a period of time, we have emerged as the most economical power solution provider.
THERE ARE VARIOUS TYPES OF CELL CHEMISTRIES IN LITHIUM-ION BATTERIES
a. Lithium Cobalt Oxide (LCO) LiCoO2
b. Lithium Cobalt Aluminium Oxide (NCA) LiNiCoAlO2
c. Lithium Iron Phosphate (LFP) LiFePO4
d. Lithium Manganese Oxide Spinel (LMO) LiMn2O4
e. Lithium Nickel Cobalt Manganese Oxide (NMC) LiNixCoyMnzO2
f. Lithium Titanate Oxide (LTO) Li4Ti5O12
Among all the above chemistries Lithium Nickel Cobalt Manganese Oxide (NMC) and Lithium Iron Phosphate (LFP) are the two most common chemistries in the current market.
