Lithium-Ion Battery Power: How Much Energy Density and Capacity Can It Hold?
A lithium-ion battery can hold 100 to 250 watt-hours per kilogram (Wh/kg). The theoretical maximum energy density is 1250 Wh/kg. Typical lithium-ion cells, such as the 18650 model, store around 150 watt-hours. This capacity is much higher than lead-acid batteries, which only provide about 25 Wh/kg. The capacity of a lithium-ion battery indicates how much … Read more
