Using days per year, the required time is . Hence
lithium transfers one electron per atom, so
This is the stoichiometric minimum for one cell, or one cell-equivalent parallel assembly, with complete utilization and no self-discharge. Practical loading must be larger. If a pack uses several cells in series, each series cell must carry the full delivered charge and the total lithium mass increases accordingly; no required pack voltage or series count is supplied.
