A high-accuracy mass measurement of 7Li was performed with the Smiletrap Penning trap mass spectrometer via a cyclotron frequency comparison of Li3+ and H2+. A new atomic mass value of 7Li has been determined to be 7.016,003,425,6,(45)u with a relative uncertainty of 0.63 ppb. It has uncovered a discrepancy as large as 14 sigma (1.1 micro u) deviation relative to the literature value given in the Atomic-Mass Evaluation AME 2003. The importance of the improved and revised 7Li mass value, for calibration purposes in nuclear-charge radii and atomic mass measurements of the neutron halos 9Li and 11Li, is discussed.
