lithium batteries

Phone power source

Lithium batteries are portable power cells that use lithium compounds to store and release electrical energy.

They come in two main types: single-use lithium batteries and rechargeable lithium-ion batteries, which power most modern electronics from smartphones to electric vehicles.

Their high energy density relative to size and weight makes them the dominant battery technology for portable devices.

My laptop battery won't hold a charge anymore—I need to replace the lithium battery.
