Lithium-ion batteries are far more complex and sophisticated than simple gas tanks. How does a lithium-ion battery work? In short, lithium-ion batteries store and release energy through chemical reactions. Charging and discharging Li-ion batteries generates heat, and too much heat can shorten the long-term life of the battery.
