NOVONIX Battery Technology Glossary

Battery

A generic term that is used for a single cell or cells connected in series and/or parallel.

A battery is an electrochemical energy storage device, whether it’s a single cell or a group of cells connected together. When multiple cells are combined in series or parallel, they form a battery pack with higher voltage and / or capacity. Batteries can be primary (single-use) or secondary (rechargeable) systems. Today, lithium-ion batteries dominate rechargeable applications due to their high energy density and efficiency. The term “battery” has become synonymous with the power source in devices ranging from smartphones and laptops to electric vehicles and grid storage systems.

At NOVONIX, the focus is on advancing rechargeable battery technology, particularly lithium-ion systems, through better materials and rigorous testing. NOVONIX sells high quality artificial graphite for lithium-ion batteries. Through its Battery Technology Solutions division, NOVONIX provides state-of-the-art testing equipment and services to battery manufacturers and materials developers, ensuring that cells and battery packs meet performance and safety standards. By innovating at both the material and cell-testing levels, NOVONIX contributes to more powerful, longer-lasting, and safer batteries that power modern electronics, electric vehicles (EVs), and renewable energy storage.
