A strong El Niño is causing high temperatures this winter, and while not often publicized, there is research to suggest that global warming may be related. Experts claim that the strength of El Niño may be fueled by increased pollution and emissions that contribute to global warming. Switching to lithium-ion technology is one of the many small but effective solutions available to our planet.
Environmental Benefits Of Lithium-ion Batteries
Undoubtedly, rechargeable lithium-ion batteries reduce our impact on the environment. Some of the many benefits of lithium include but are not limited to:
- Maximized energy output
- Faster, energy-efficient charging
- Lighter weight
- Cleaner, more environmentally friendly energy
Lithium-ion batteries are not only greener to manufacture (using naturally-occurring lithium and metal alloys) but they are biodegradable, recyclable and emission-free. Worldwide, more and more companies are taking notice of lithium battery benefits, putting lithium technology to work powering innumerable applications.
Rechargeable lithium-ion batteries offer the most efficient power source for:
- Electric vehicles
- Marine vessels
- Solar applications
The causes of global warming are still debated and difficult to pinpoint, but most experts name our increased reliance on fossil fuels as a top culprit.
Green batteries are working to minimize this dependence and improve the condition of our planet, one battery at a time. Does that guarantee snowstorms this winter? Not necessarily, but we’re taking steps to get closer to that reality.
