4. Lithium-ion battery - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lithium-ion_battery

   A lithium-ion or Li-ion battery is a type of rechargeable battery that uses the reversible intercalation of Li + ions into electronically conducting solids to store energy. In comparison with other commercial rechargeable batteries, Li-ion batteries are characterized by higher specific energy, higher energy density, higher energy efficiency, a longer cycle life, and a longer calendar life.

5. Lithium iron phosphate battery - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lithium_iron_phosphate_battery

   The lithium iron phosphate battery (LiFePO. 4 battery) or LFP battery (lithium ferrophosphate) is a type of lithium-ion battery using lithium iron phosphate (LiFePO. 4) as the cathode material, and a graphitic carbon electrode with a metallic backing as the anode. Because of their low cost, high safety, low toxicity, long cycle life and other ...

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Health_and_environmental...

   Lithium-ion batteries from cars can sometimes be re-used for a second-life in factories [66] or as stationary batteries. [67] Some electric vehicle manufacturers, such as Tesla, claim that a lithium-ion battery that no longer fulfills the requirements of its intended use can be serviced by them directly, thereby lengthening its first-life. [68]

9. Lithium–sulfur battery - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lithium–sulfur_battery

   The lithium–sulfur battery (Li–S battery) is a type of rechargeable battery. It is notable for its high specific energy. [2] The low atomic weight of lithium and moderate atomic weight of sulfur means that Li–S batteries are relatively light (about the density of water). They were used on the longest and highest-altitude unmanned solar ...
