Product Overview
Electrolyte is a chemical solution of salts and solvents in fixed ratio to enhance the flow of ions and create a conductive medium. In case of lithium ion it is 1:4. Lithium batteries are batteries which have lithium at the anode and also stated as lithium-metal batteries. They have electrolyte which is not rechargeable, on the other hand Lithium ion battery (LIB) is a rechargeable battery. Lithium Ion Battery Electrolytes have flammable solvents and rechargeable property, which play an important role in transfer of cations (positive ions) between the anode and cathode. Lithium Ion Battery Electrolytes provide high power even at under low temperatures, high voltage, high durability etc.
