replies: text: So, this article would be called disposable lithium batteries. Li ion and Li disposable are lithium batteries.In any case, there are also rechargeable lithium metal batteries --Mac (talk) 11:58, 23 July 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: That's my opinion too (distinct articles for Litium and Li-Ion), but this article includes a lot of information relevant to Li-Ion batteries such as rechargeable Li-Ion chemistry and information about transport safety guidelines that AFAIK apply to Li-Ion batteries (otherwise should be clarified, I never heard of an exploding button cell yet...) Shouldn't some information move to Lithium ion battery? 66.36.135.64 (talk) 06:23, 23 August 2017 (UTC)
thread_title:  Merging 

message: Lithium-containing cells have two main types: primary (i.e. non-rechargeable) and secondary (i.e. rechargeable).

Referring to the photos shown, it is better to label the leftmost photo as anode (i.e. negative) cup and the rightmost photo as cathode (i.e. positive) can. Without indicating the polarity of the cell, it is confusing because the can/cap showing the positive sign on its top (e.g. the photo of CR2032 lithium battery) was placed upside down.

message: Which battery chemistry is used by my Energizer E2 Photo Lithium Technology 2.5V? 
:Ok I found it in the chart.
Which is the one used for rechargable laptop batteries?
:"The most common consumer grade battery, about 80% of the lithium battery market." Is the first one on the chart the common laptop battery? I'm guessing the disposable battery sells more units.

thread_title:  Which is which? 

message: The article states that thionyl chloride is generally not used in batteries sold to consumers.  However, I once attempted to dismantle a consumer lithium battery (disposable, size AA 1.5 volts).  The battery shorted out, and the electrolyte began to boil.  I accidentally inhaled some of the fumes, which were very irritating, similar to hydrochloric acid fumes.  If this was not thionyl chloride, what was it (it seems unlikely that an organic solvent would have this property)?   --Pyrochem 03:45, 21 April 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Thionyl chloride cells have 3.6 Volts nominal voltage. A 1.5 Volt battery cannot be a thionyl chloride battery unless it was almost completely discharged and you measured that voltage by coincidence. Better tell us what else was written on the battery or its package or related information sheet. Such as a type designation or number. And be prudent. Thionyl chloride batteries SHALL NOT BE DISMANTLED !!! They are not designed as toys for pyrochemical daredevils. READ THE SAFETY DATA SHEET !!! Thomaszwilling (talk) 22:05, 19 April 2021 (UTC)

thread_title:  shelf life 

message: I'm surmising that CR for Li-MnO2 refers to the CR prefix of watch batteries? If so, this could be made clearer. One might make the connection given the "CR"  in the table, but you might not. If you happen to read the caption of the disassembled battery it's "obvious" but that's not the best, sole location for information. And what, praytell, does CR mean? --Belg4mit 16:44, 7 June 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: The part number often specifies the diameter and thickness of the cell.  A CR2032 is 20mm in diameter and 3.2mm thick. 80.45.129.137 (talk) 10:20, 18 October 2010 (UTC)

thread_title:  Decameter 

message: In this article in English mentions: 
Lithium batteries are disposable (primary) batteries that have lithium metal or lithium compounds as an anode.
In other article in Japanese mentions: 
Lithium metal is used as cathode. (Translation)

I believe it should be correct the Japanese article in this point.
Could someone confirm which is correct anode or cathode?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.137.94.18 (talk) 18:42, 16 January 2009 (UTC)

thread_title:  History? 

message: I noticed several secondary batteries listed in this article. It seems like they belong here rather than in Lithium-ion battery, but the definition of Lithium battery would have to be changed to reflect this. I suggest to draw the line at electrode material and say they are mostly primary. Any insights on how these cells are actually classified in academic and industrial literature would be appreciated. 1wonjae (talk) 22:36, 29 November 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: Agreed. Lithium-ion batteries should be moved to Lithium-ion battery while secondary lithium metal batteries should be moved to Rechargeable lithium metal battery. Article "Lithium battery" should remain reserved for primary lithium metal batteries. Thomaszwilling (talk) 21:52, 5 June 2021 (UTC)

message: In that section, it says "battery voltage has increased;". Should that be connected by a comma replacing the semicolon to the next remark about sizes, or is it totally irrelevant? Peridon (talk) 17:24, 8 August 2015 (UTC)
thread_title:  Ingestion and choking hazard 

message: What do people think of renaming/moving this page to "lithium-metal battery"? It would serve as a matching counterpart to "lithium-ion battery", since the two types are distinct. As it is, the current name may be somewhat confusing since both lithium-metal and lithium-ion are a type of lithium battery, despite being very different internally.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by TROPtastic (talk • contribs) 19:31, 8 November 2016 (UTC)
replies: text: Not a good idea since the article "lithium metal battery" exists and claims that they are secondary (rechargeable) while this article ("Lithium battery") describes mostly primary (non-rechargeable) lithium batteries. Thomaszwilling (talk) 15:46, 24 April 2021 (UTC)

message: The article starts: "Lithium batteries are primary batteries that have lithium as an anode". Later we have: "Mistreatment during charging or discharging can cause outgassing of some of their contents, which can cause explosions or fire". This clearly refers to secondary batteries.

thread_title:  Confusion 

message: From the article:
The above quote is followed by four references (one of which is broken) supporting the statistic for each of the mentioned countries. The Japan statistic is dated to 2010. The European one to 2013 and the Swiss one to 2012. Quite apart from the failure to compare like years with like years, the statistics are hopelessly out of date. The sentence containing, "... 0.5% of all battery sales including secondary types are lithium primaries." is wrong on a fundamental point. Batteries are either primary or secondary. They cannot be both. TheVicarsCat (talk) 17:23, 18 December 2018 (UTC)
replies: text: Any battery can be a primary battery...once.  Here's a bag containing all the primary and secondary batteries sold. In that bag, 0.5% are lithium primary batteries. Do you expect huge year-by-year shifts in the composition of battery sales?  We're lucky we've got refs within a couple of years of each other.  Seems OK to me. --Wtshymanski (talk) 20:37, 18 December 2018 (UTC)
