How about the nickel-cobalt-manganese acid battery?

Lithium nickel cobalt manganese oxide (LiNiMnCoO2 or NMC)

One of the most successful lithium ion systems is cathode combination of nickel manganese cobalt (NMC). Similar to lithium manganite, this system can customized for use as an energy battery or a power battery. For example, an NMC in an 18650 battery under medium load conditions has a capacity of approximately 2,800 mAh and can provide a 4A to 5A discharge current; same type of NMC is optimized for a specific power with a capacity of only 2,000 mAh, but is available 20A continuous discharge current. The silicon-based anode will reach 4000 mAh or more, but load capacity reduce and cycle life shorten The silicon added to graphite has defects in that anode expands and contracts with charging and discharging, so that mechanical stress of battery is largely unstable. The secret of NMC lies in combination of nickel and manganese. Similarly to this is the salt, in which main components sodium and chloride are themselves toxic, but they mix as a seasoning salt and a food preservative. Nickel known for its high specific energy, but its stability is poor; the manganese spinel structure can achieve low internal resistance but low specific energy. The two active metals have complementary advantages.

The NMC is the battery of choice for power tools, electric bikes and other electric power systems. The cathode combination is typically one-third nickel, one-third manganese and one-third cobalt, also known as 1-1-1. This provides a unique blend that also reduces raw material costs due to reduced cobalt content. Another successful combination is NCM, which contains 5 parts nickel, 3 parts cobalt and 2 parts manganese (5-3-2). Other different amounts of cathode material combinations can also use. Due to the high cost of cobalt, battery manufacturers have switched from cobalt to nickel cathodes. Nickel-based systems have higher energy density, lower cost, and longer cycle life than cobalt-based batteries, but their voltages are slightly lower. New electrolytes and additives can charge a single battery to more than 4.4V, increasing power.

NMC has good overall performance and excels in terms of specific energy. This battery is the first choice for electric vehicles with the lowest self-heating rate.

Due to economical and comprehensive performance of this system, NMC hybrid lithium-ion batteries are receiving more and more attention. Three active materials, nickel, manganese and cobalt, can be easily mixed to accommodate a wide range of applications for automotive and energy storage systems (EES) that require frequent cycles. The diversity of the NMC family is growing.
