n inqubo yokukhiqiza amabhethri e-lithium-ion, ngokuvamile kunezindlela eziningana zokuhlukanisa inqubo. Inqubo ingahlukaniswa ngezinqubo ezintathu ezinkulu: ukukhiqizwa kwama-electrode, inqubo yokuhlanganisa kanye nokuhlolwa kwamaseli (njengoba kukhonjisiwe esithombeni esingezansi), futhi kukhona nezinkampani ezihlukanisayo zibe izinqubo zokuvunguza ngaphambili kanye nezinqubo zangemuva, futhi leli phuzu lokuhlukanisa inqubo emazombezombe. Ngenxa yomsebenzi wayo oqinile wokuhlanganisa, ingenza ukubukeka kwebhethri kube ukubumba kokuqala, ngakho-ke inqubo yokuvunguza ekukhiqizeni ibhethri ye-lithium-ion njengendima ebalulekile, iwukhiye, inqubo yokusonta ekhiqizwa umgogodla ogoqiwe ngokuvamile ibizwa ngokuthi i-bare. iseli yebhethri (Jelly-Roll, ebizwa ngokuthi JR).
