A lithium-ion battery is a rechargeable battery in which lithium ions pass between the anode and cathode, allowing energy flow that can be used in electronic devices. The battery should be recharged and this is a reversible chemical reaction. Low Maintenance – no periodic discharge is needed; there is no memory.
