Li-ion vs. Li-Poly, which is better?

 

 

The battery is the main component of any portable electronic device, like all living organisms, needs energy to perform any work, and to get energy food is the primary source for living organisms same the battery is the energy provider for portable devices.
There are mainly two types of batteries used in the devices.
So, In this article, I will do a shot of a comparison of both types of batteries. 

LI-ION Battery.

A lithium-ion battery is a rechargeable battery that is essentially a group of very rigid electricity-generating compartments, which consists of three pieces: a positive electrode; a negative electrode; and an electrolyte, or liquid chemical compound between them. Most lithium-ion batteries, unlike more traditional ones, also include an electronic controller, which regulates power and discharge flows so your battery doesn’t overheat or explode.

 

LI-Polymer Battery.

A lithium-polymer (Li-Poly) battery is a type of rechargeable battery that uses a polymer casing so that the lithium-ion battery inside it rests in a soft external “pouch.” It may also refer to a lithium-ion battery that uses a gelled polymer as an electrolyte. However, the term commonly refers to a type of lithium-ion battery in a pouch format.

Different between Li-Ion vs. Li-Poly.

The basic difference between lithium-ion and lithium-polymer batteries is the chemical electrolyte between their positive and negative electrodes. The Li-Poly battery technology uses one of three forms a dry solid, a porous chemical compound; or, a gel-like electrolyte. The most popular among these is the gel-like electrolyte, which is the type of battery you’ll find in newer laptop computers and electric cars. Plenty of companies are not actually selling you a true Li-Poly battery, instead, it’s a lithium-ion polymer battery or a Li-ion in a more flexible casing.

Both lithium-ion and lithium-polymer batteries have their pros and cons.

The advantages of lithium-ion are its high power density and its significantly lower cost than lithium-polymer. But If the barrier that separates the positive and negative electrodes is ever breached, the chemical reaction can cause combustion (fire). As Li-ion batteries have become more popular in consumer electronics, businesses have tried to lower costs by cutting corners. While quality batteries are perfectly safe.

On the other hand, Lithium-polymer batteries are generally robust and flexible, especially when it comes to the size and shape of their build. They are also lightweight, have an extremely low profile, and have a lower chance of suffering from leaking electrolytes. But lithium-polymer batteries aren’t perfect either they are significantly more costly to manufacture, and they do not have the same energy density (amount of power that can be stored) or lifespan as a lithium-ion.

 

I have not given you all that information about the numbers or that complex stuff instead I have given simple differences by which it gets easy to understand.

That is all about lithium ion and lithium polymer batteries, in this article we have known what is Li-Ion battery, Li-Poly battery, and the difference between them.
