A metallic element of the alkaline group, occurring in several minerals, as petalite, spodumene, lepidolite, triphylite, etc., and otherwise widely disseminated, though in small quantities.
(Li) Li. Element 3, atomic weight 6.939. The lightest alkali metal, used in special-purpose metal alloys and other industrial applications.
An element of the alkali metal group that is the lightest metal known and never found uncombined in nature. It is not considered an alkali in cement and concrete terminology. Has been shown to control ASR when added to mortar and concrete as a salt.
Disposable batteries using lithium chemistry are gaining in popularity because of their light weight, high energy density, and shelf life of ten years. Lithium ion rechargeable batteries, as used in the Streamlight Strion, combine high capacity with small size and light weight.
A primary battery (non-rechargeable) that is quickly entering mainstream electronic designs, particularly in consumer, portable equipment and non-volatile memory back up applications where small size, long life and low cost are the primary requirements. Lithium batteries have superior cold temperature performance and a shelf life of 5-10 years.
An alkali metal, with the symbol Li. A very light-weight metal. It is usually mixed with Aluminium and Magnesium for light-weight alloys.
a soft silver-white univalent element of the alkali metal group; the lightest metal known; occurs in several minerals
A primary battery (non-rechargeable) that is being used in a lot of today's devices. They are used for keyless entry remotes, blood glucose machines, backup for PDA's, etc. These batteries are low cost power supply and have a shelf life of 5-10 years.
Some of the newer digicams are now coming with a lithium rechargeable battery pack. Lithium batteries are lighter and more costly than NiMH or NiCd type of rechargeable cells and can be rapidly charged
A light metal, atomic number 3. Used in advanced rechargeable batteries.
A soft silver-white element of alkali metal group that is the lightest metal known and that is used in chemical synthesis and in storage batteries.
