Lithium Ion Batteries:
The Lithium Ion Battery is the
Most Popular for Cell Phones

This is article #3 in our 4-part series about the different types of cellular phone batteries. In this article we will be talking about lithium ion batteries, the most popular cell phone batteries. The reason lithium ion batteries are so popular is their superiority to earlier technologies, namely the Nicad batteries and Nickel Metal Hydride (NiMH) batteries which we talked about in earlier articles. First of all, the lithium ion battery has a higher energy density than these other types, and therefore they can store more energy than other rechargeable batteries. A Lithium-ion battery also has a lower self-discharge rate than other types of rechargeable batteries. This means that it will retain a charge much longer than other cellular batteries. Lithium batteries can keep their charge for months sitting on a shelf, whereas other batteries will lose their charge sitting on the shelf.

Lithium Ion batteries also do not suffer from the"memory effect" that older technologies are subject to. Lastly, a lithium ion battery can last at least 30% longer than other batteries due to its ability to accept more charging cycles.
