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.

What is better 2 cell lithium polymer or lithium polymer?

There is no clear-cut answer as to which is better, the choice depends on specific requirements. A 2 cell lithium polymer battery will have a higher voltage, which can be beneficial for devices that require a higher power output. On the other hand, a single cell lithium polymer battery can be smaller and lighter, which can be advantageous for compact devices with limited space. It ultimately depends on the specific needs of the application.


Can I charge a 2000mAh lithium-polymer battery with a 1000mA charger?

Yes you can. The maximum charge current for LiPo batteries is '1C' where 'C' is the capacity of the battery in question, in your case C is 2000mAH. So you will be charging at 0.5C which is fine.


Will a 3.6V battery replace a 3.7V battery on cameras?

It is not recommended to replace a 3.7V battery with a 3.6V battery in a camera as the slight difference in voltage may affect the camera's performance and potentially cause damage. It is best to use the battery specified by the manufacturer to ensure proper functioning and safety of the camera.


What the compound naming for LiPO?

You think probable to a lithium ion-polymer (used in batteries).


Do lithium polymer batteries get a battery memory?

Like lithium ion batteries, they do not suffer from battery memory but are also effected by gradual capacity loss caused by oxidization. It happens over a span of years from the manufacturing date, and lithium polymers (lipos) are basically lithium ion batteries that are easier to mold into various shapes needed for certain applications.

What is lithium polymer battery?

A lithium polymer battery is just like any other battery except you can charge the battery and reuse it. You can buy them at places like Wal-Mart and Best Buy.

What are the differences between the Lithium Ion and Lithium Polymer batteries?

The lithium Polymer (LIPO) battery is a more advanced then the Lithium Ion (Li-ion) battery. The LIPO has it's electrolyte held in a solid polymer film which is directly bonded to the lithium electrode. A LIPO holds more charge but it's lifespan is less then a Li-ion. Some people think the LIPO is easier to recycle but they are both basically recycled the same way. All in all the LIPO is slowly replacing the Li-ion.

Can a lithium ion-polymer battery ever be charged in a NiMH charger since someone finally invented a 9V 8.4V lithium-polymer but the only charger specifically supporting it is their expensive one?

****NEVER USE AN NIMH BATTERY CHARGER TO CHARGE A LITHIUM OR LITHIUM-ION BATTERY!**** I get asked this all the time. Using an NiMh charger to charge this battery will make it EXPLODE or CATCH FIRE. The fire CAN NOT be extinguished with water and CAN NOT be extinguished with a household fire extinguisher.

Is lipo the same as lithium polymer?

Yes, "lipo" is a common abbreviation for "lithium polymer" batteries. Both terms refer to a type of rechargeable battery commonly used in electronic devices due to their high energy density and lightweight construction.

How many amps hours can a lithium polymer battery hold?

There's really no telling, as it'd depend on the size of the battery as well as on the chemistry.
