Batteries and lithium batteries are the majority of battery types used in daily life. But which of the two types of batteries is better to use? What is the difference between a battery and a lithium battery? Below we will explain it to everyone.
1. The principle is different
A battery is a type of battery that can store limited electrical energy and use it in appropriate places. Its working principle is to convert chemical energy into electrical energy. Lithium batteries are a type of battery that uses lithium metal or lithium alloy as the negative electrode material and a non-aqueous electrolyte solution.
2. Different prices
The price of batteries is relatively cheap, while the price of lithium batteries is relatively high compared to batteries.
3. Different safety performance
The safety performance of lithium batteries and rechargeable batteries is different, and the safety of rechargeable batteries is slightly higher.
4. Different usage times
Compared to rechargeable batteries, lithium batteries have a relatively longer usage time.
5. Different chemical properties
The chemical properties of lithium metal are very active, making the processing, storage, and use of lithium metal highly environmentally demanding. So, lithium batteries have not been applied for a long time.
6. Different temperature tolerance
The common working temperature for lithium batteries is -20-60 degrees Celsius, but generally the performance of lithium batteries will decrease below 0 ℃, and the discharge capacity will correspondingly decrease. Therefore, the working temperature for complete performance of lithium batteries is usually 0-40 ℃. The working temperature of a battery is generally required to be between 20 ℃ and 25 ℃. When it is below 15 ℃, its discharge capacity decreases.
7. Different cycle life
The cycle life of lithium batteries is generally around 2000-3000 times, while that of batteries is around 300-500 times. The cycle life of lithium batteries is about five or six times that of batteries.
8. Different cycle life
The cycle life of lithium batteries is generally around 2000-3000 times, while that of batteries is around 300-500 times. The cycle life of lithium batteries is about five or six times that of batteries.
Through the above introduction, I believe everyone understands a lot. Both types of batteries have their own advantages and purposes, so choose according to the actual situation.
