Rechargeable batteries are not necessarily lithium batteries, and lithium batteries are not necessarily rechargeable batteries. Why? I believe many friends are confused about these issues. Now, Graeme will talk about the relationship between rechargeable batteries and lithium batteries, and how to understand the concept of rechargeable batteries?
Rechargeable battery
Rechargeable battery refers to a kind of battery that can be recharged after the battery runs out of power and can be reused after being fully charged. It includes some types of lithium battery family. The specific circumstances are as follows:
Rechargeable batteries include Greep NiMH batteries, lead-acid batteries, and some rechargeable lithium batteries (polymer lithium batteries, lithium iron phosphate batteries, ternary lithium batteries, etc.), but they do not include non rechargeable disposable lithium batteries, such as lithium manganese dioxide batteries and lithium thionyl chloride batteries.
Many people will think that the battery is a rechargeable battery when they hear that it is a lithium battery, or they will think that it is a lithium battery when they hear that it is a rechargeable battery. In fact, whether the battery is a rechargeable battery depends on the raw materials and processes used in its production. If the battery is made of raw materials that support rechargeable use, it can be said that it is a rechargeable battery, On the contrary, batteries made of non rechargeable raw materials are usually called disposable batteries or non rechargeable batteries. Therefore, whether lithium batteries support charging performance depends mainly on whether the raw materials used in their manufacture support charging.
