The correct statement is:
A new substance is formed as the battery is used.
During the discharge of a lithium-ion battery, chemical reactions occur that involve the movement of lithium ions and the transformation of reactants into new products. When the battery is recharged, the reverse reactions occur, but the overall chemistry involves changes to the substances involved. The other statements do not accurately represent the behavior of lithium-ion batteries.
