Lithium and lithium ion batteries, or cells, provide portable electricity. They both work by storing electric charges chemically; when you connect their electrodes with a wire, the charges flow from the battery's cathode to its anode, producing an electrical current. Each type has benefits and drawbacks.TL;DR (Too Long; Didn't Read)Lithium-ion batteries are rechargeable; lithium batteries are not.
Cell Type:The main difference between lithium and lithium ion batteries is thatlithium batteries are a primary cell and lithium ion batteries are secondary cells. The term"primary cell" refers to cells that are not rechargeable. By contrast, secondary cell batteries are rechargeable.Comparing Lithium and Lithium-IonLithium batteries are not easily and safely rechargeable; this problem led to the invention of lithium ion batteries. They can be charged several times before becoming ineffective. Lithium batteries however are not rechargeable, but do offermore in the way of capacity than lithium ion batteries. They have a higher energy density thanlithium ion batteries. Lithium batteries use lithium metal as their anode unlike lithium ion batteries that use a number of other materials to form their anode. Lithium ion batteries are disadvantaged in that their shelf life is about three years, after that, they are worthless.How They WorkIn both types, electrical currents occur because of a chemical reaction that takes place inside the battery. The anode in a cell moves electrons to the cathode which is located atthe opposite end of the cell. The electrolyte that separates the cathode from the anode both storeselectrical energy and serves as an electrical conductor, allowing electricity to flow through the battery and power a circuit or appliance.
History of Lithium-Based Batteries:Chemists worked on the idea for the lithium battery in 1912, though it wasn't until the 1970s that the the first examples became available to consumers, and these batteries were not rechargeable. The chemicalinstability of lithium metal made rechargeable lithiumbatteries too difficult to develop. In 1991, scientistsused more stable lithium compounds to create a battery. This lithium ion battery was rechargeable and lighter in weight than other rechargeable batterytechnologies available at the time.Lithium and Lithium-Ion Battery UsesBoth types of batteries offer a lot of power for their size. They can be usedin any number of devices from flashlights to compact disc players. Lithium ion batteries can be formed into many shapes which makes them ideal for items such as laptop computers, iPods and cell phones. Their rechargeability makes them ideal power sources inconsumer electronics. Lithium batteries are the battery of choice when it comes to powering artificial pacemakers because of their long life and the amount of energy they offer. Lithium batteries work well as long-term power sources indevices that are out of reach, such as smoke detectors and computer motherboards.

Answer:
There are several important differences.
The practical difference between Lithium batteries and Lithium-ion (Li-ion) batteries is that most Lithium batteries are not rechargeable but Li-ion batteries are rechargeable. From a chemical standpoint Lithium batteries use lithium in its pure metallic form. Li-ion batteries use lithium compounds which are much more stable than the elemental lithium used in lithium batteries. A lithium battery should never be recharged while lithium-ion batteries are designed to be recharged hundreds of times.
