What is Li-Po batteries?

Li-Po batteries:

These are also called as Lithium Ion polymer rechargeable batteries because it uses high conductivity polymer gel/polymers electrolyte instead of liquid electrolyte. These come under the Li-ion technology. These are a bit costly. But the battery is very highly protected when compared to the Li-ion batteries. It has Power density of 185 Wh/Kg.

Advantages:

1. These are highly protective compared to Li-ion batteries.
2. Very light in weight
3. Thin in structure when compared to Li-ion batteries.
4. Power density, nominal voltages are comparatively very high compared to Ni-Cad and Ni-MH batteries.

Disadvantages:

1. Expensive.
2. Might explode if wrongly connected.
3. Should not be bent or exposed to high temperature which may cause to explosion.

Applications: Can be used in all the portable devices which need rechargeable advantage like drones, robotics, RC toys etc.
