Abstract

Batteries are basically divided into two types according to the lifespan, disposable use and secondary use, such as the normal AA batteries is disposable ones, when used up and can not be recycled, while the secondary batteries can be recharged for long-term use, lithium batteries belong to the secondary batteries

There are lots of Li+ in the batteries, they move from positive to negative and back from negative to positive in charging and discharging,

We hope from this article, you can know more about the various applications of lithium batteries in daily life

Lithium battery applications

Electronic products

Lithium batteries are widely used in electronics like cell phones ,cameras, watches, earphones ,laptops and so on in everywhere. Mobile phone batteries are also widely used as energy storage, which can charge phones about 3-5 times outdoor, while camping enthusiasts will also carry portable energy storage emergency power as outdoor power supply, which can usually meet the needs of 1-2 days to power small appliances and cooking.

Electric Vehicles

Lithium batteries are widely used in the field of EV, electric buses, logistics vehicles,cars can be seen everywhere, the development and application of lithium batteries effectively promote the development of the new energy vehicle industry, using electricity as a source of energy, reducing the dependence on oil resources, reducing carbon dioxide emissions, playing an important role in environmental protection, but also to reduce the cost of people using cars, for instance,  for a 500km journey, the cost of petrol is approximately US$37, while a new energy vehicle only costs US$7-9 ,which makes travelling greener and less expensive.

Home energy storage

Lithium iron phosphate(LifePO4), as one of the lithium batteries, plays a significant role in home energy storage due to its features including strong, safety, stability and high life span, a ESS battery with a capacity ranging from 5kwh-40kwh, by connecting with photovoltaic panels, can meet daily electricity demand and store power for night backup use.

Due to the energy crisis, the Russian-Ukrainian war and other social factors, the global energy crisis has been intensifying, at the same time the cost of electricity for European households has gone up, Lebanon, Sri Lanka, Ukraine, South Africa and many other countries have serious power shortages , Take South Africa for example, power cuts every 4 hours, which greatly affects people's normal life. According to statistics, the global demand for home storage lithium batteries is expected to be twice as high in 2023 as it was in 2022, which means that more people will start using solar energy storage systems as a long-term investment to solve the problem of unstable electricity consumption and sell the excess power to the grid and benefit from it.

Large scale energy storage grids

For remote off-grid areas, Li-ion battery storage also plays an important role, for example, Tesla Megapack has 3MWH and 5MWH large capacity, Connected with photovoltaic panels to PV system, it can provide 24-hour power continuous supply for remote off-grid areas of power stations, factories, parks, shopping malls, etc..

Lithium batteries have greatly contributed to the transformation of people's lifestyles and energy types. In the past, camping outdoor enthusiasts could only cook and heat their homes by burning wood, but now they can carry lithium batteries for a variety of outdoor uses. For example, it has increased the use of electric ovens, coffee machines, fans and other appliances outdoor scenarios.

Lithium batteries not only enable the development of long-distance EV, but also make use of and store inexhaustible solar and wind energy to better cope with the energy crisis and create a fuel-free society with lithium batteries, which is of great positive significance to the mitigation of global warming.
