I was thinking of using rechargeable lithium batteries for a project. I might make a pack of 10 cells at about >= 6 Ah. I would also like moderately high discharge currents, like 3 amps.
But finding lithium cells seems very difficult. Distributers, like Digikey, only carry Lithium button cells and camera batteries. Batteries like SLA, NiCd etc are commodity, but finding general purpose lithium batteries that could replace SLA/NiCd etc seems more difficult. Am I looking in the wrong places?
Right now I am just trying to look around and see what is available and at what prices. For example, I found a Li-ion cell, the Saft VL 6A. This is similar to what I am looking for. Interestingly, this battery has massive discharge ability, 100s of amps.
Where could I find and buy higher power and higher capacity Lithium batteries? Thanks.
