The application of lithium batteries in the consumer field dates back to the rechargeable lithium battery developed by Sony Corporation of Japan in 1990, and then the lithium battery is used for commercialization and is popularized in everyone's daily life. Lithium-ion batteries on the market now belong to secondary batteries, which can be recharged and widely used in mobile phones, notebook computers, Bluetooth headsets, etc. The life cycle of such consumer lithium batteries does not need to be very good, generally it will take 2 or 3 years.

In addition to electric bicycles, electric vehicles and electric buses, they are also used in forklifts, airport tractors, etc. In recent years, even countries have developed lithium battery aircraft and successfully tested.
