A tiny “ackshually” is that there also exist non-rechargeable lithium batteries that have actual elemental lithium in them, which might be adding to the confusion.
Metallic lithium != elemental lithium. If you scrolled down to the chemistry section, they list both the anode and cathode. Nothing in the list has elemental lithium.
Elemental lithium means that it’s pure lithium, i.e. not being in a compound with any other element. Metallic lithium means that lithium is a metal in its pure form.
You’re awfully confident for how little you seem to know about basic chemistry.

Even those aren’t elemental lithium. They use Lithium-iron disulfide, Lithium-thionyl chloride, Lithium-manganese dioxide, and Lithium-sulfur dioxide.
In every one you mention elemental lithium is the anode and whatever second part in the name is the cathode.

You’re wrong
You’re trolling or what?

Still didn’t scroll down to chemistry, did you?
