Custom Lithium Metal Battery Manufacturer in China
Lithium metal batteries are named because they use metallic lithium as their negative electrode, which can provide a long-term, sufficient power supply, but they are non-rechargeable. Due to their high energy density, higher voltage, and low self-discharge rate, they are widely used for medical devices, consumer electronics, home appliances, and other small devices in various industries.

Our lithium metal batteries can provide a long-term and stable energy supply for noise-canceling headphones, thin and light smart watches, tablets, smart phones, and other high-end consumer electronics that require lightweight and long battery life, turning high energy density into the core competitiveness of your products.
Lithium metal batteries, particularly lithium-ion batteries, are playing an increasingly important role in powering modern small home appliances, such as remote controllers.
Lithium metal batteries are crucial for implantable devices and portable devices, like pacemakers, defibrillators, neurostimulators, blood glucose meters, infusion pumps, oxygen concentrators, and drug pumps, providing a long-lasting and reliable power source within the body.
Safety Guard DevicesLithium metal batteries provide a stable power supply, a compact size, and can be used in a wide range of operating temperatures, making them frequently used in wireless burglary devices within alarm systems. Common applications include alarm sensors, motion detectors, and flashlights etc.
How they work:
Lithium-ion batteries charge and discharge by embedding and de-embedding lithium ions between the positive and negative electrodes. When charging, lithium ions are extracted from the positive electrode and embedded in the negative electrode (usually graphite), and move in the opposite direction when discharging.
When lithium metal batteries are discharged, lithium atoms lose electrons at the negative electrode and become lithium ions, which enter the electrolyte and reach the positive electrode after passing through the external circuit. When charging, lithium ions are reduced to deposited metal lithium.
In addition, lithium metal batteries are not rechargeable, while lithium-ion batteries are usually rechargeable.
High energy density: Compared to other types of batteries, such as alkaline or zinc batteries, lithium metal batteries have a compact size with higher energy density, which allows them to store more energy in a smaller, lighter volume.
Non-rechargeable: Lithium batteries are typically primary batteries, which means they are not rechargeable but are replaceable.
Higher voltage: The typical voltage of lithium metal batteries is about 3.0V. Compared with other types of primary batteries, their voltage is usually higher.
Low self-discharge rate: The extremely low self-discharge rate allows lithium metal batteries to maintain a relatively good battery capacity even when not used for a long time, thereby extending their service life.
Charging a lithium metal battery may form lithium dendrites. Lithium dendrites are branched structures of metallic lithium formed on the negative electrode of a lithium metal battery. The deposition of such dendritic lithium dendrites may damage the diaphragm connected to the positive electrode, causing a short circuit. At the same time, the lithium ions originally used to store the charge are consumed, directly leading to a reduction in battery capacity. Moreover, lithium dendrites react with the electrolyte and decompose it, resulting in further loss of battery capacity.
There are many tips you should follow when you apply lithium metal batteries to your production:
- Avoid physical damage to prevent internal short circuits and potential fires.
- Avoid contact with conductive materials such as water and other conductive metals.
- No overcharging or overdischarging.
- Pay attention to changes in the lithium metal battery’s appearance. If it bulges, smells bad, or overheats, stop using it.
- Store lithium metal batteries in a cool, dry place. Keep them away from high temperatures, open flames, or flammable materials.
- Recycle lithium metal batteries at specialized recycling stations.
Firstly, lithium is the lightest known metal. Compared with other materials, lithium can store more energy at the same mass and volume. Therefore, lithium metal is sought after in many application fields that pursue lightweight and high energy density.
Secondly, alkali metals easily lose electrons, and lithium has the lowest reduction potential among the alkali metals. This means that the voltage of lithium-ion batteries is relatively high compared to other types of batteries, and a higher voltage means that more energy can be stored.
