Part 2 : Selecting suitable lithium-ion battery

Question 1: How can I select the best lithium-ion battery?

There are six key points! Different types of lithium-ion batteries have different characteristics. So, consider the following six points.

  1. Voltage: source of power
  2. Energy density: amount of energy stored in a given battery per liter or kilogram
  3. Charge rate: speed at which a battery can be safely charged
  4. Operating temperature range: temperature range in which a battery can be used
  5. Service life: number of charge/discharge cycles or a period of time during which a battery provides sufficient power input and output
  6. Safety: smoke and fire hazards and conformity with safety standards

These batteries are:

  • Powerful: Batteries with high energy output
  • Small: Batteries with high energy density that help reduce system size
  • Durable: Batteries that can be used for many years

It's important to select a battery that suits your purpose.


Question 2: What are the criteria for selecting a lithium-ion battery?

consider for what you want to use a battery from the following perspective.

  • Where: in a frigid climate, inside a building
  • For what: Robots, automobiles
  • How: continuously for long hours, in case of emergency

 

Application requirements
