    Yeah, batteries internal resistance is a huge factor in their usability and the speed they charge.

    Especially in the modern day where a lot of their use is towards high amperage applications like cars.

    People need to understand tho, Lithium batteries are usually only about 11% lithium, Lithium Ion batteries are mostly Cobalt and other metals. So at most you’re replacing 6% of a batteries total mass.

      Mostly cobalt is also not accurate. There’s a small part of cobalt in some batteries.

      Other like LiFePo are cobalt free.
