Coulombic efficiency

Charge delivered on discharge divided by charge put in on the previous charge. A healthy lithium-ion cell exceeds 99.9 %; the missing fraction is lithium lost to side reactions, so CE is an early and sensitive aging signal.

Lead–acid battery

The oldest rechargeable chemistry, lead and lead dioxide electrodes in sulfuric acid, at 2 V per cell. Heavy and short-lived in deep cycling but cheap, recyclable and good at cold cranking, it still starts most cars and backs up most telecom sites.

Nickel–metal hydride battery

A 1.2 V aqueous cell with a nickel hydroxide positive electrode and a hydrogen-absorbing alloy negative. It powered hybrid cars for two decades and is tolerant of abuse, but lithium-ion stores two to three times more energy per kilogram.

Oxygen recombination

The internal cycle that lets sealed nickel and valve-regulated lead–acid cells tolerate overcharge: oxygen evolved at the positive electrode diffuses to the negative and reacts back to water, so the excess charge ends as heat instead of gas. It is why NiMH can take a C/10 trickle charge and lithium-ion, which has no such route, cannot.
