Batteries – Comparing the specific energy of various electrochemistry
The specific energy density of battery cells, depending on chemistry: Lead Acid (PbSO4 ) = 40Wh/kg NiCd (Nickel Cadmium / NiOOH) = 60 Wh/kg NiMh (Nickel Metal Hydride / NiOOH) = 90Wh/kg LTO (Lithium Titanium Oxide / Li4Ti5O12) = 80Wh/kg. LPF (Lithium Iron Phosphate / LiFePO4) = 115 Wh/kg. LMO (Lithium Ion Manganese Oxide / LiMn2O4)…
