Lithium ion is used almost exclusively for phone batteries and similar portable equipment because it has a high energy density, i.e. it can store a lot of energy in a small size and weight. At present no other battery technology comes close to the same density. However, lithium ion batteries also decay over a period of time, accelerated by high temperatures. It is possible for a lithium ion battery to be only 50% effective by the time it reaches a year old, hence the reduced battery life we all experience as our phones get older.

What country was lithium found in?

Most lithium is now mined in Argentina, Chile, and Australia. There is one mine in Nevada, with experimental geo-thermal power plants that extract lithium as a by-product near the Salton Sea in southern California. The largest known deposits are in Bolivia, but the political problems have hindered their development.
