The main difference between power lithium batteries and energy storage lithium batteries is that they are designed and used differently.
Power lithium batteries are generally used to provide high power output, such as electric vehicles and hybrid vehicles. This type of battery needs to have high energy density, high discharge rate and long life to adapt to high intensity charge and discharge cycles.
Lithium batteries for energy storage are used for long-term energy storage, such as solar power generation systems, wind power generation systems, etc. This type of battery requires higher energy density and lower cost to meet the needs of energy storage systems, and usually needs to have a longer life and lower self-discharge rate.
Therefore, although both types of lithium batteries use lithium ion as the electrolyte, they differ in design and performance specifications to suit different application scenarios.
Power lithium batteries are generally used in scenarios where high power output needs to be provided, such as：
1, Drive energy for vehicles such as electric cars and hybrid cars;
2, Power source for portable devices such as power tools and drones.
Lithium energy storage batteries are then used in scenarios where long-term energy storage is required, such as
1, Energy storage equipment for distributed energy systems such as solar photovoltaic power generation systems and wind power generation systems;
2, Energy storage equipment in industrial and civil fields such as power grid peaking storage and emergency backup power.
In addition, with the continuous progress of technology and the expansion of application scenarios, power lithium batteries are also beginning to be used in some lower power scenarios, such as smart home, Internet of Things and other fields, while energy storage lithium batteries are gradually expanding their applications, such as for the secondary use of electric vehicles, graphene-enhanced lithium-ion batteries and other new material applications.
