Li-ion batteries are a type of energy storage technology. These batteries have various advantages over other types: they are lightweight, have a good charge holding capacity, and do not suffer from the ‘memory effect’. Li-ion batteries have a wide range of applications including electronics, computers, telecommunication, and automotive (especially in hybrid vehicles). Their power-to-weight ratio makes them ideal for these applications. Though Li-ion batteries are currently costlier than other types, technological developments are expected to lower the costs in the coming five years. However, safety and environmental effects of dead Li-ion batteries could prove to be a major concern for the Li-ion battery market.
