Introduced in [[2531]] by the [[Terran Hegemony]], a lithium-fusion battery can be installed on [[JumpShip]]s and [[WarShip]]s to provide one additional charge for their [[Kearny-Fuchida drive]]. It serves as an extension of the drive's energy storage and allows for a second jump without having to recharge the drive first. However, activating the K-F drive several times in rapid succession may damage or destroy vital components. In general practice, the K-F drive is never activated more frequently than every 36 to 48 hours.<ref>''Living Legends'', p. 62</ref> The battery can be charged (and quick-charged) in much the same way as the K-F drive. The increased range of an L-F equipped ship allowed a variety of new tactics, including longer range raids and the ability to quickly evade ambushes.<ref name="TOp323">''Tactical Operations'', p. 323, "Lithium-Fusion Battery"</ref>

As of [[3056]], lithium-fusion batteries were almost exclusively used on WarShips. Very few regular JumpShips, none of them civilian-owned, were known to carry the expensive system (and then usually as a refit). These refits were rare, however, as the L-F battery was usually built into the ship's hull.<ref name="TOp323"/><ref>''BattleSpace'', p.43</ref>
