Lithium Ion Batteries, powering the way to the future
Lithium Ion Batteries are currently the most used batteries for laptops, cell phones, pocket pcs, and many other devices. Whenever you need the highest power capacity and the lowest weight, lithium ion batteries are your best option.
Having almost completely replaced Ni-Cd and Ni-Mh batteries, Lithium Ion Batteries offer a number of advantages over those older battery technologies. For starters, it does not suffer from the dreaded memory-effect,meaning you can recharge it at any time without degrading its performance. Older batteries needed to be completely discharged before re-charging, or else they would gradually lose their power.
Having succeeded in spite of their higher price, Lithium Ion Batteries are now a part of our daily lives. We demand more and more power, for longer and longer periods. No one can predict what kind of batteries we'll be using in 10 years time. For the moment, Li-Ion is the best we have, and emerging technologies like fuel cell batteries shows us it can only get better.
