    A tiny “ackshually” is that there also exist non-rechargeable lithium batteries that have actual elemental lithium in them, which might be adding to the confusion.

      Even those aren’t elemental lithium. They use Lithium-iron disulfide, Lithium-thionyl chloride, Lithium-manganese dioxide, and Lithium-sulfur dioxide.

            Lithium metal batteries are nonrechargeable primary batteries that have metallic lithium as an anode.

            You’re trolling or what?

              Metallic lithium != elemental lithium. If you scrolled down to the chemistry section, they list both the anode and cathode. Nothing in the list has elemental lithium.

                Elemental lithium means that it’s pure lithium, i.e. not being in a compound with any other element. Metallic lithium means that lithium is a metal in its pure form. You’re awfully confident for how little you seem to know about basic chemistry.

                    I did. Every one except lithium iron phosphate at the bottom has elemental lithium as anode. What is your point and why do you like to argue so much?
