A Lithium-Ion Battery (Li-I Battery) is a type of rechargeable and an advanced battery technology that uses lithium ions as a key component of its electrochemistry. A Li-I Battery has the highest energy density among practical secondary batteries and are widely utilised in electronics, electric vehicles, and stationary energy storage systems. The electrolyte carries positively charged lithium ions from the anode to the cathode and vice versa through the separator. The movement of the lithium ions creates free electrons in the anode which creates a charge at the positive current collector, and the electrical current then flows from the current collector through a device being powered to the negative current collector. The separator blocks the flow of electrons inside the battery. A Type of Lithium Batteries are: Lithium Iron Phosphate (LFP); Lithium cobalt oxide (LCO); Lithium Manganese Oxide (LMO); Lithium nickel manganese cobalt oxide (NMC); Lithium nickel cobalt aluminium oxide (NCA); Lithium titanate (LTO) (Refer to the Lithium-Ion (Li-I) Battery) (Refer to the Secondary Battery (or Rechargeable Battery))
