The invention relates to a 
lithium battery preparation material, and provides a preparation method of a high-
nickel, low-
cobalt and low-
manganese ternary positive 
electrode material precursor for a 
lithium battery. The shape and the appearance of 
nickel, 
cobalt and 
manganese hydroxide co-precipitated product can be precisely and conveniently controlled. A 
raw material solution is prepared from A, namely a 
nickel salt solution containing 80g / L of nickel, B, namely a 
mixed solution containing 60-90g / L of nickel, 10-30g / L of 
cobalt and 10-30g / L of 
manganese (prepared according to different proportions of x and y in nickel, cobalt and manganese 
hydroxide Ni(1-x-y)CoxMny(OH)2, wherein x is greater than or equal to 0.1 and smaller than or equal to 0.25, y is greater than or equal to 0.1 and smaller than or equal to 0.25, x+y is greater than or equal to 0.2 and smaller than or equal to 0.5), C, namely a solution containing 8mol / L of 
sodium hydroxide, and D, namely a solution containing a surface active dispersing agent. A preparation method comprises the steps of nickel hydroxide 
seed crystal cultivation, 
crystal particle maturing, 
slurry aging, precipitate filtering, washing and 
drying. Compared with the prior art, the preparation method has the advantages that 
ammonia water does not need to be added in the whole process including cultivation and confirmation of Ni(OH)2 crystals, so that high 
ammonia-
nitrogen wastewater cannot be produced; the working procedure of treating the 
ammonia-
nitrogen wastewater is omitted, so that the production cost is further lowered.
