Lithium battery life cycle

In this article, I have explained how long does a lithium battery last, what is average lifespan, how many charge cycles can you expect, and how to extend the battery life.

For a long time, old nickel-cadmium or lead acid batteries have been the “go-to” power source for electronics, power tools, and other equipment.

However, lack of safety features and efficiency has been the issue with these batteries.

In 1991, the first lithium-ion battery was developed which was more efficient than a regular nickel-cadmium battery. Later, the technology improved and lithium-ion batteries were made with more than 95% charging efficiency compared to 80% charging efficiency of lead-acid batteries according to energy sage news.

But, the important question remains, how long does a Lithium Battery Last while used for commercial, industrial, or residential use?

According to the Journal of power sources, the average lifespan of lithium-ion batteries is 300 to 500 charge cycles or 2 to 3 years.
