Introduction

I want to thank you for choosing this book, ‘DIY Lithium Battery’ and I hope you will find it useful and entertaining in your bid to build your own lithium batteries from scratch.

Lithium batteries are rapidly becoming one of the most popular forms of batteries in the world. Almost every other gadget nowadays contains a lithium battery. However, it must be noted that lithium batteries can be dangerous as they contain extreme amounts of energy in a small volume. They are constructed in such a way that they can release this energy quickly. If used properly, lithium batteries can power any device. If you However, improper handling may lead to fires and explosions that may prove disastrous.

This book is a thorough educational guide that will help you understand the workings of a lithium battery. Do not try to recreate any tutorial given in this book unless you know what you are doing and/or are guided by a professional.

While following the instructions given in this book, always use proper safety instruments. Remember, safety must always be your number one priority. Always engage in safety practices and do not leave lithium batteries unattended.

Without any further ado, let us proceed and understand the intricacies of how these batteries are assembled. Once again thank you for buying this book and good luck.

Chapter 1

Lithium Batteries

What, How and Why?

History

The existence of lithium batteries can be traced back to the 70s. While they were first used in the 70s, lithium batteries became popular in the 80s and 90s. It was around these decades when the modern lithium batteries came into existence. Thanks to modern research, it is now possible to create superior and powerful batteries that can be charged to their full capacity in mere seconds. Of course, most of these are just in their experimental phase right now and thus will not be a part of this book.

This book will try to cover only the technology and innovations that are currently available commercially and can be bought easily.

Uses

Lithium batteries are versatile and can be used for almost anything. It is no wonder that they find use in a seemingly endless number of applications and gadgets. 

They can be found in simple devices like wristwatches to high-end devices such as electric vehicles.
