This article is about a generic battery type. For a lithium-ion battery, see Aqueous lithium-ion battery.
An aqueous battery is an electric battery that uses a water-based solution as an electrolyte. The aqueous batteries are known since 1860s, do not have the energy density and cycle life required by the grid storage and electric vehicles,[1] but are considered safe, reliable and inexpensive in comparison with the lithium-ion ones.[2] Until 2010s they also had an advantage in high-power applications (like cordless power tools), but this was overcome by developments in the Li-ion chemistry.[3]
