For the metal element, see Lithium. A lithium-ion battery or Li-ion battery (abbreviated as LIB) is a type of rechargeable battery in which lithium ions move from the negative electrode to the positive electrode during discharge and back when charging.
Of these various options, Ni-Cd and Ni-MH are available in standard battery sizes, and especially in AA and AAA sizes, which are used in a lot of portable electronic equipment. Li-ion batteries cannot be manufactured in these sizes because they provide a higher voltage than standard AA and AAA batteries.
