A lithium-ion battery includes a cell placed into an electrically non-conducting box filled with an electrolyte. The cell includes an intercalation cathode and an electroconductive anode separated from each other by a porous separator. The cell is submerged into the electrolyte. The electrolyte includes an aqueous solution of metals salts. The aqueous solution includes metals ions of the metals salts. A pH value of the aqueous solution being adapted to prevent a hydrolysis of the metal ions in the electrolyte.
