Lithium Polymer Batteries

Lithium-ion polymer batteries, polymer lithium ion, or more commonly lithium polymer batteries are rechargeable batteries which have technologically evolved from lithium-ion batteries. The advantages of Li-poly over the lithium-ion design include lower cost manufacturing and being more robust to physical damage. A compelling advantage of Li-poly cells is that manufacturers can shape the battery almost however they please, which can be important on smaller, thinner, and lighter phones. Another advantage of lithium polymer cells over nickel-cadmium and nickel metal hydride cells is that the rate of self-discharge is much lower.
