      Advantages:

      • Higher energy density delivering long run times between charges
      • Compact size and lightweight
      • Faster recharge times
      • Wider operating and storage temperature ranges
      • Long cycle life
      • Maintenance-free operation

      Disadvantages:

      • High production costs
      • Transportation restrictions
      • Protection requirement
      • Half-grown technology (It can still be considered an immature technology by some as it is very much in a developing area. This can be a disadvantage in terms of the fact that the technology is still evolving)
      • Ageing effect
      • Sensitive to high temperature
