Do you know the difference? Useful, and must-know, info!
What is the difference between Lithium batteries and Lithium Ion batteries?
The following answer comes from a support email from our US suppliers... and I quote...
"There are several important differences. The practical difference between Lithium batteries and Lithium-ion (Li-ion) batteries is that most Lithium batteries are not rechargeable but Li-ion batteries are rechargeable.
From a chemical standpoint Lithium batteries use lithium in its pure metallic form. Li-ion batteries use lithium compounds which are much more stable than the elemental lithium used in lithium batteries.
A lithium battery should never be recharged while lithium-ion batteries are designed to be recharged hundreds of times."
