Moreover, lithium ion-batteries are ˇ°the beacon of hopeˇ± for the automotive industry for the use in electric and hybrid cars and for the energy revolution to be applied as a short-time energy storage. However, other lithium-metal-based batteries are used in everyday life, such as lithium-manganese dioxide battery or lithium-iodine-battery. These types of batteries are much less known, but are used very frequently in everyday life. In this article simple experiments with lithium-batteries are presented. http://pubs.sciepub.com/wjce/11/3/16/wjce-11-3-16.pdf lithium batteries lithium-manganese dioxide-batteries lithium-pyrite-batteries lithium-iodine-batteries
