Batteries can be divided into two broad categories: Primary Batteries (non-rechargeable batteries) and Secondary Batteries (rechargeable batteries). The primary battery contains common Alkaline batteries, Lithium batteries, and the like. The secondary battery includes Lead-acid battery, Lithium ion battery, Nickel-chromium battery, Nickel-hydrogen battery, and etc..

The lithium ion battery comprises liquid lithium ion battery and polymer lithium ion battery. The liquid lithium ion battery usually includes: Lithium cobalt oxide battery, Lithium manganese oxide battery, Nickel cobalt manganese ithium battery, Nickel cobalt aluminum lithium battery, Lithium iron phosphate battery, and the like. Polymer lithium ion batteries generally refer to LIP.

Specific classification and some parameters of each battery type can refer to the following chart, the data&images comes from the Internet, for reference only.
