Why Lithium ?
Lithium is irreplaceable and offers highest electrochemical potential and largest energy density when compared to other metals. The lithium ion batteries charge faster, last longer and have higher voltage prolonging the battery’s life. Lithium is also used to treat medical conditions such as anxiety, depression, and bipolar disorder.
