Lithium-ion (Li-ion) Battery Packs

^{Description:
Lithium-ion batteries are the most common type used in e-scooters due to
their high energy density, lightweight, and relatively long lifespan.
Types:
18650 Cells: Cylindrical cells often used for medium-range e-scooters.
21700 Cells: Larger cylindrical cells providing higher energy density and
improved performance compared to 18650 cells.
26650 Cells: Larger cylindrical cells with higher capacity and durability,
suitable for heavy-duty e-scooters.
Prismatic Cells: Rectangular-shaped cells used in some battery packs for their
ease of packaging and stacking.
Features:
High energy density.
Lightweight.
Fast charging capabilities.
Good cycle life (number of charge-discharge cycles).Advantages: Reliable, widely available, and suitable for various e-scooter applications.
Disadvantages: Sensitive to overcharging, temperature extremes, and physical damage.}

Lithium Iron Phosphate (LiFePO4) Battery Packs

^{Description: LiFePO4 batteries are a type of lithium-ion battery known for their safety,
long cycle life, and stability.
Features:
High thermal and chemical stability.
Longer cycle life compared to standard Li-ion batteries.
Safer chemistry with lower risk of thermal runaway.
Advantages: Enhanced safety, longer lifespan, and better performance in extreme Temperatures.
Disadvantages: Lower energy density compared to standard Li-ion batteries, resulting
in larger and heavier packs for the same capacity.}

Lead-acid Battery Packs

^{Description: Traditional lead-acid batteries are less common in modern e-scooters due
to their heavier weight and lower energy density compared to lithium-ion batteries.
Types:
Sealed Lead-acid (SLA) Batteries: Maintenance-free and sealed, commonly
used in older or lower-cost e-scooter models.
Flooded Lead-acid Batteries: Require regular maintenance and topping up
with distilled water.}

^{Features:
Lower cost compared to lithium-ion batteries.
Robust and tolerant of overcharging.}

^{Advantages: Lower initial cost.
Disadvantages: Heavier, shorter lifespan, and lower energy density compared to
lithium-ion batteries.}

Nickel Metal Hydride (NiMH) Battery Packs

^{Description: NiMH batteries offer a balance between cost, energy density, and
environmental impact compared to lead-acid and lithium-ion batteries.
Features:
Moderate energy density.
Longer cycle life than lead-acid batteries.
Safer chemistry compared to older nickel-cadmium (NiCd) batteries.}

^{Advantages: Lower cost than lithium-ion batteries, environmentally friendly.
Disadvantages: Higher self-discharge rate, lower energy density compared to lithium-
ion batteries.}
