It was a great improvement over carbon batteries.
• Later, nickel-hydride batteries became the technology of choice.
• Lithium-ion batteries became available in the 1990s, offering higher energy densities. This technology won out nickel-hydride.
The lithium-ion rechargeable battery offered advantages that were previously unavailable:
• Lithium is the lightest of all metals
• It had the largest electrochemical potential
• It provided the greatest energy content per unit volume
• It had no memory effect
• Its energy leakage rate was less than half that of NiCd and NiMH
• The first of its type was developed by Sony in 1990 with enough cycles to be usable for rechargeable batteries
o Mass production took place in 1991
o Panasonic and Sanyo quickly developed similar batteries that were on the market by 1994
Big advances in a mature industry like batteries were hard to find... displayed 300 characters
