The movement of the lithium ions creates free electrons in the anode which creates a charge at the positive current collector. The electrical current then flows from the current collector through a device being powered (cell phone, computer, etc.) to the negative current collector. The separator blocks the flow of electrons inside the battery.

As the below comparison table shows lithium ion batteries are still the economical battery choice. The company VSUN Energy don''t currently have a residential Vanadium redox flow battery option . Although, it isn''t far away as VSUN Energy is working with manufacturers to provide a product in 2020.
Lithium-ion uses a cathode (positive electrode), an anode (negative electrode) and electrolyte as conductor. (The anode of a discharging battery is negative and the cathode positive (see BU-104b: Battery Building Blocks ). The cathode is metal oxide and the anode consists of porous carbon. During discharge, the ions flow from the anode to the
