What is a lithium-ion car battery?

A lithium-ion car battery powers hybrid and electric cars. Lithium-ion car batteries provide an automobile technology that improves the environmental efficiency of cars. This type of battery is useful for green driving and helps electric cars travel up to 250 miles without burning gasoline.

A lithium-ion, or Li-on, car battery stores impressive amounts of energy in a small package. Lithium-ion batteries are lighter and smaller than nickel-metal-hydride and lead-acid car batteries, which allows for higher speed and power without weighing down the car. This type of car battery also stores more energy than traditional nickel or lead car batteries and has more stamina as a result of a higher energy density.
