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.
What is lithium ion? How do lithium ion batteries work? Lithium batteries work just like lead acid batteries, except they allow for the flow of lithium ions between the anode and cathode of the battery, as the electrons flow through the conductive connection. Lithium ion batteries are the popular choice for modern electric vehicles, due to their many advantages over lead acid batteries.
