Lithium / Lithium-ion is there a difference

Post by The Weegie »

I recently purchased a lithium screwdriver. However a sparky informed me that it is different from lithium-ion tools :scratch:

I told him that he was talking sh..te.

Is there a difference?

Forget that post. I have just looked at the instructions and it is a lithium-ion screwdriver :? :oops:

On the box it just said Lithium.

My head is right up my Ar.e

This post interested me - I thought all lithium batteries were REALLY Li-on (Lithium-Ion) and people used 'Lithium' as shorthand for Li-on, but ..........

Check this out.....Lithium batteries :shock:
I went to a bookstore and asked the saleswoman, "Where's the self-help section?"
She said if she told me, it would defeat the purpose.
