Lithium polymer battery

<p>A lithium polymer battery, or more correctly, lithium-ion polymer battery (abbreviated as LiPo, LIP, Li-poly, lithium-poly, and others), is a <a href="/facts/Rechargeable_battery/A6zUkPkW">rechargeable battery</a> of <a href="/facts/Lithium-ion_battery/3L22xFhB">lithium-ion</a> technology using a <a href="/facts/Polymer_electrolytes/dsgMW3Bo">polymer electrolyte</a> instead of a liquid electrolyte. Highly conductive semisolid (<a href="/facts/Gel/gBFE0s9G">gel</a>) polymers form this electrolyte. These batteries provide higher <a href="/facts/Specific_energy/zVRhSxPh">specific energy</a> than other lithium battery types. They are used in applications where <a href="/facts/Weight/9NMHCsQd">weight</a> is critical, such as <a href="/facts/Mobile_device/cNS1Rhvg">mobile devices</a>, <a href="/facts/Radio-controlled_aircraft/QohJtvVM">radio-controlled aircraft</a>, and some <a href="/facts/Electric_vehicle/jhCbx5ur">electric vehicles</a>.
</p><p>They are widely used in <a href="/facts/Laptop_computer/3EFwTAb2">laptop computers</a>, <a href="/facts/Tablet_computer/6pGX2I7b">tablets</a>, and <a href="/facts/Smartphone/cSIrBMWG">smartphones</a>.
