What is a Primary Battery?
A primary battery, or a non-rechargeable battery, is a type of battery that can’t be recharged after its initial use. Primary batteries come in many shapes and sizes, and they’re commonly used to power consumer electronics, small medical devices, and military equipment. Common types of primary batteries include:
- Alkaline
- Zinc-carbon
- Lithium thionyl chloride
- Mercuric oxide
- Lithium
Understanding The Importance of Lithium Primary Batteries
As previously discussed, lithium primary batteries are non-rechargeable batteries. These batteries offer reliable performance and high energy density making them a great option for applications that require a lightweight and long -lasting power source. Lithium primary batteries have proven to be an excellent power source for the following:
Medical Devices
