Hye,
I have some trouble with the word 'work' and 'works'.
I don't know when to use 'work' or 'works'.

What's the difference anyway?
Here:1. " I bought the lithium batteries and it work."
2. " I bought the lithium battery and it works.

Can someone correct my sentences and tell me what's wrong.

Thank you,

singular - works
plural - work

There's nothing at all special about the verb "work". You will have the same trouble with all regular verbs unless you learn the regular conjugation of the present tense - which is not hard at all.

I work
You work (singular)
He/She/It works
We work
You work (plural)
They work


It doesn't get any easier!
