• Higher discharge current than other lithium batteries.

• Do not explode under extreme conditions like other lithium rechargeables.

• Weigh less than other Li-ion batteries.

• Low cost.

• Non toxic.

• Has lower voltage (3.2V) than normal Li-ion cells so can't be charged on other Li-ion chargers.

• Also has lower energy density.

• Not widely in production, so little performance information is available.
