We frequently observe the chemical element lithium printed on batteries and we all begin to wonder how much of it was loaded into the batterylife. Let us go directly to the method on the best way to calculate its lithium ion content. Originally we have to set these information: first is that the entire equivalent lithium content (ELC) for one cell of the battery life, next is the amount of cells in the batterylife. To calculate the ELC (in grams), ELC is equal to the battery's energy (at ampere-hours) multiply by 0.3 then multiplied by the battery's amount of cells. )

Just take the event of an HP Compaq 367759-001 battery using 10.8V, 8800 mAh, Li-ion technical specification for instance.

Let us begin by computing the ELC working with the formulation announced earlier. We all know the power rating to be 8800 mAh (milliamps) and also we should convert it to Ah (amp ) to use our formulation and we've got 8.8 Ah (8800 mAh equals 8.8 Ah). And so we are now prepared to compute the HP Compaq 367759-001 battery one mobile ELC that's 8.8 x 0.3 equals 2.64 grams.

Additionally, we're expected to set the amount of cells from our battery. The battery's voltage has been awarded at 10.8V, we ought to divide that by the minimal voltage of a single cell then we receive the amount of cells in string consequently. Next would be to split the battery's given ability (8800 mAh) by the minimal capability of one mobile and also we get the resultant sum of cells in parallel. We can calculate the sum of cell in the battery by multiplying the series and parallel results. Of all of the cells from HP 367759-001, the amount 18650 is often employed. It's a conventional low voltage of 3.6V and 2200 mAh minimal capacity. We are now prepared to calculate the amount of cells at the HP Compaq 367759-001 battery for it: (8800 mAh/2200 mAh) x (10.8 volts/3.6 volts) equals 12 cells.
