An Lithium battery is a lithium metal based electric storage battery that:

• is light weight and has one of the highest energy density to weight
• provides high voltage and amperage possibilities, 3.6 volt cells in comparison to 1.5 volt found in alkaline and nickel based cells
• is extremely low maintenance, safe and easy to ship using standard methods
• can be configured in 1000s of different assemblies
• has led to technological breakthroughs such as lithium-ion (consumer electronics) and lithium polymer
