Why can't primary lithium batteries (that are not lithium IONS) be developed as secondary batteries?
Can someone explain this to me?
Can someone explain this to me?
In summary, primary lithium batteries that are not lithium ions cannot be developed as secondary batteries due to past issues with reliability and explosions in commercial lithium AA rechargeables. This may be connected to the question being asked.

I can't address your specific query. But for what it's worth, I recall that the first commercial lithium AA rechargeables were soon taken off the market due to patchy reliability and some exploding. They were not Li-ions, and I think it was an Israeli manufacturer. Tadiran, if I'm not mistaken.
I don't know, but maybe there is some connection between that and your question.
1. What is a lithium battery?
A lithium battery is a type of rechargeable battery that uses lithium as its primary component. It is commonly used in electronic devices such as smartphones, laptops, and tablets.
2. How does a lithium battery work?
Lithium batteries work by using lithium ions to move between the anode and cathode, creating an electrical current. When the battery is charged, the lithium ions move from the cathode to the anode. When the battery is discharged, the ions move from the anode to the cathode.
3. What are the advantages of using a lithium battery?
There are several advantages of using a lithium battery, including high energy density, low self-discharge rate, and longer lifespan compared to other types of batteries. They also have a faster charging time and do not suffer from the "memory effect" like some other rechargeable batteries.
4. Are lithium batteries safe to use?
Lithium batteries are generally safe to use, but they can pose a fire risk if not handled and stored properly. This is due to the highly reactive nature of lithium. To ensure safety, it is important to use a high-quality charger and follow the manufacturer's instructions for charging and storage.
5. Can lithium batteries be recycled?
Yes, lithium batteries can be recycled. Many recycling centers and electronic stores offer programs for recycling lithium batteries. It is important to properly recycle lithium batteries to prevent environmental damage and to recover valuable materials for reuse.
