Li-Po Battery

A lithium polymer battery or LiPo, is a rechargeable battery of lithium-ion technology using a polymer electrolyte instead of a liquid electrolyte. High conductivity semisolid polymers form this electrolyte. These batteries provide higher specific energy than other lithium battery types and are used in applications where weight is a critical feature, like mobile devices and radio-controlled aircraft. Lithium Polymer (Li-Po) batteries are a newer type of battery now used in many consumer electronics devices. They have been gaining in popularity in the radio control industry over the last few years, and are now the most popular choice for anyone looking for long run times and high power.

Advantages:

Much lighter weight, and can be made in almost any size or shape.

Much higher capacities, allowing them to hold much more power.

Much higher discharge rates, meaning they pack more punch.

Disadvantage:

Much shorter lifespan; LiPos average only 150–250 cycles.

The sensitive chemistry can lead to fire if the battery gets punctured.

Need special care for charging, discharging, and storage.

Applications:

Lithium polymer battery in agriculture: Animal food device, fertilization, fertilizer, fish feeding device, irrigation.

Lithium polymer battery in automotive equipment: Car alarm, car stereo, eCall solution, oil injection, vehicle tracking, car key, car lighting, key lights, removable flashlight.
