Lithium-ion Battery VS Lithium Polymer Battery, Which is better?

Like a car’s fuel tank and transmission, polymer battery cell is also the key of a portable charger that directly determines whether it’s good or not. But it has been proven that most customers/consumers cannot really differentiate between a Lithium-ion Battery and a Lithium Polymer Battery and also unable to make a right buying decision between both of them. It happens also because they generally cannot be reflected in the specification label and section. The first commercialized lithium-ion battery began in 1991 under Sony Corporation and then quickly followed by other manufacturers. Talking about the Lithium battery, its energy density and load characteristic and also the discharge behavior is reasonably good. But Lithium-polymer batteries are different from other battery systems seeing the type of electrolyte used. The original design back in the 1970s uses a solid polymer electrolyte which had a poor conductivity back then and to compromise, some gelled electrolyte has been added.

And also has a strict accordance with the quality management system to we ensure the performance of security and stability to meet customer’s requirement and expectations.

All Li-ion polymer cells in the current scenario incorporate a micro porous separator with moisture. The correct term is “Lithium-ion polymer” (Li-polymer for short). Then, what is the difference between a normal Li‑ion and Li‑polymer? As far as we are aware, they both use similar cathode and anode material and contain an identical amount of electrolyte. Though the features and performance of the two systems are same to same, the gelled electrolyte of Li‑polymer becomes the catalyst that builds up the electrical conductivity, Li-polymer attempts little bit advanced energy and could be made fragile than traditional Li-ion. Coming back to Li-polymer cells, it also comes in a flexible foil-type case while a standard Li-ion needs a rigid case that increases the weight by more than 20 percent. As well as, the Li-polymer battery can be produced into any shape. It's best to go through the specifications and requirements before going to any type of conclusion. In the end, what matters is the requirement of your device and nothing else.
