The main classification of lithium-ion batteries

（1） According to the different electrolyte materials used in lithium batteries, lithium batteries can be divided into two categories: 

liquid lithium batteries (LIB) and polymer lithium ion batteries (LIP).

（2） According to the charging method, it can be divided into two categories: non rechargeable and rechargeable.

（3） The appearance of lithium batteries can be divided into square lithium batteries 

(such as commonly used mobile phone batteries), cylindrical batteries (such as 18650, 18500), and pouch batteries;

（4） Lithium battery outsourcing materials are divided into aluminum shell lithium batteries, steel shell lithium batteries, and soft pack batteries;

（5） Lithium batteries are divided into positive and negative electrode materials (additives):

lithium cobalt oxide (LiCoO2) batteries, lithium manganese oxide (LiMn2O4), lithium iron phosphate batteries, and disposable lithium manganese dioxide batteries.
