Lithium batteries are composed of pure lithium in its metal form and are generally meant for one-time usage; they cannot be recharged. Lithium ion batteries, on the other hand, contain electrolytes of the lithium ion; these can be discharged and recharged many times. The lithium ion batteries have several advantages over other rechargeable batteries. For one, they're smaller in size and also have high voltage so that fewer cells are needed. Secondly, when idle, they lose charge at a slower rate compared to the other batteries, and hence are long-standing once fully charged.
They both have similar capabilities, but the main difference is that Lithium Polymer batteries can be shaped/molded in ways that Lithium Ion batteries simply can't. Lithium Polymer batteries are used in lots of hobby equipment, very small devices, and anywhere else where a certain shape of battery is required.
The Dell lithium Ion batteries have a slightly longer shelf life and last 10-15% longer than normal batteries.
The biggest differences are that lithium batteries contain lithium metal and are not rechargeable. Lithium ion batteries, however, do not contain lithium metal and can be recharged.The small lithium and lithium ion batteries that are provided an exception to dangerous goods/hazardous materials regulations are used primarily in consumer applications. Small lithium batteries are often used in cameras and watches. Lithium ion batteries are commonly found in cellular phones and laptop computers.Batteries does not have any eco-hazard as long as it is not carelessly dumped with general waste. It can only pose threat to environment as it contains metals like.. lithium, nickel, chromium, iron,etc. and which can leach to groudwater and contaminate soil if not disposed off responsibly.
There are as yet no lithium-ion batteries available in standard sizes such as AA.
Yes, MacBooks use lithium-ion batteries.
Lithium batteries are primary cells. That is, they're used up and thrown away. They're not rechargeable. Lithium-ion batteries are rechargeable. Which is better depends on your need or application. For example, if you had to buy and replace cell phone batteries all the time it would be expensive and a pain.
Presumably you're talking about the battery. Lithium batteries are "primary batteries"; that is, they're not rechargeable. Lithium ion batteries are rechargeable, and are therefore a much better choice for a cell phone.
LI ION stands for a lithium-ion battery. Lithium-ion batteries are a rechargeable. These batteries are the most popular type of rechargeable battery.

Yes, Mac computers typically use lithium-ion batteries.
You think probable to a lithium ion-polymer (used in batteries).
Generally, in Li-ion (or Lithium ion) batteries.
