The Complete Breakdown: Pros and Cons of Lithium Ion Batteries
Lithium-ion batteries boast an energy density of approximately 150-250 Wh/kg, whereas lead-acid batteries lag at 30-50 Wh/kg, nickel-cadmium at 40-60 Wh/kg, and nickel-metal-hydride at 60-120 Wh/kg. The higher the energy density, the longer the device''s operation without increasing its size, making lithium-ion a clear winner for …
