Li

G.N. Lewis pioneered lithium batteries in 1912, the first non-rechargable cells were created in the early 1970's. Lithium does not suffer from common battery maintainance issues like memory and self discharge, and is environmentally safe. Sony commercialized the first lithium-ion battery in 1991.
