How Do Lithium Ion Batteries Work? The Basics

At their core, lithium ion batteries store electricity as chemical energy and release it when needed.

Key Parts (No Jargon!)

  • Cathode: Uses lithium iron phosphate (LiFePO₄) for safety and long life.
  • Anode: Graphite that stores lithium ions efficiently.
  • Electrolyte: Allows lithium ions to move between electrodes.
  • Separator: Prevents short circuits while letting ions pass.
  • BMS: Protects against overcharging, overheating, and deep discharge.

Charging & Discharging

  • Charging: Ions move from cathode to anode, storing energy.
  • Discharging: Ions move back, releasing power to your home.
