Energy consumption is a common problem faced by the world, and many industries are working to achieve safer, cleaner, efficient, low cost power solutions to overcome it. The increasing popularity of hybrid and electric vehicles, solar PV energy, and wind energy is a result of this trend. All of these solutions share one trait in common: Li-Ion batteries. Because of the rapid growth of these fields, Li-Ion batteries will play a more important role in energy conservation.
