Lithium is a stellar element for an electrochemical cell in many ways—it combines a high power storage capacity and cell voltage with fast ion migration. However, lithium-based systems have an increased risk of fire, as dendrites can form with repeated charging, which in the worst case lead to an internal short circuit.

This system is an integral part of the braking system in vehicles that don’t have an internal combustion engine or which use it only intermittently (plug-in hybrids). On the other hand, in electrified vehicles, the decades-old power boosting by means of a vacuum no longer works, so a new power source is needed for brake power assistance.
