A big buzzword in today’s green charging world is “lithium”. Although lithium batteries seem to be all the rage in up and coming technology, many still do not know the difference between lithium and other rechargeable batteries.
Aluratek is here to clear any confusion and weigh in on some advantages to lithium-ion batteries.
Science time!
Lithium-ion batteries have a higher energy density than other types of rechargeable batteries, meaning for their size or weight, they can store more energy than other rechargeable batteries.
Not only do lithium batteries operate at higher voltages (typically about 3.7 volts for lithium-ion vs. 1.2 volts for other rechargeable batteries), but they also have a lower self-discharge rate than other types of rechargeable batteries. Ergo (I love being a professor!), once they are charged they retain their charge for a longer period of time. In fact, lithium-ion batteries will retain most of their charge even after months of storage!
So in summary, lithium-ion batteries can be smaller or lighter, have a higher voltage and hold a charge much longer than other types of batteries. Why not use them in Aluratek products?
You can find lithium-ion batteries in several Aluratek electronics including:
- Our line of Cinecam video camcorders
- Multimedia player Cinepal
- coming soon … APS01F: BUMP 3.5mm Portable Mini Speaker

My Aluratek Libre doesn’t hold a charge very long. If i don’t use it for many days, it becomes discharged. What can I do?

Sorry to hear you’re having trouble with your Libre! The Libre should hold it’s charge for at least two weeks. If yours is not, please contact our support department for trouble shooting and a possible replacement.
Hi! I have an ebook reader from you. I was wondering what is the item number or specifications of the battery if I feel like trying to replace it someday myself? I love my ebook reader and would love to extend its usage if something happens one day.
Hi Justin, we are happy you like your Libre eBook Reader but the battery is a proprietary model, and is unavailable in the market. It’s not meant to be user serviceable.
my libre ereader has not been charging from the wall charger. I have plugged in the read usb to the charger and then plugged that into the wall and it says it is 100 percent but when you go to read it says batter is low. So.. this morning I plugged int he red usb directly to the computer turned it off and on and now it’s charging but again I don’t know if it really is charging or not. Is this common? I’ve only had it since Christmas 2011.
Hi Tina, thanks for your comment. Please try this – with the Libre ebook reader connected to the charger, press and hold the reset button for 5 seconds. After doing so, allow it to charge for at least 6 hours and see if the battery will get fully charged. If you are still having issues please email our service support team at techsupport@aluratek.com.
