A lithium ion battery is a type of rechargeable battery that uses a lithium ion as the main component for the charge transfer.

These batteries have become very popular in recent years due to their high energy capacities and low weights and sizes.

Lithium batteries have a higher energy density than conventional batteries, which means they can store more energy per unit of weight and volume.

Lithium batteries were first developed in the 1970s. American chemist M. Stanley Whittingham produced a lithium battery in 1972, which used a titanium disulfide composite material as the electrolyte.

However, this battery was highly unstable and dangerous to use because of lithium’s tendency to react violently with water and air.

In 1979, U.S. chemical engineer John Goodenough developed a new lithium battery that used copper as the anode material instead of titanium disulfide.

In 2019, both researchers received the Nobel Prize in Chemistry along with Japan’s Akira Yoshino for their contributions to the development of this technology and its enormous transcendence.

It depends on the level of activity to which it is exposed. In general, an average battery will withstand between 5000 and 8000 life cycles at maximum performance. Life cycles is the name given to the period between 100% charge and 0% discharge.
