As the endless battery debate between these two most used consumer electronics continues, we will be looking at their build up to see which one of them actually last longer.
Lithium-ion (Li-ion)
Lithium_ion battery (Li-ion) grew popular in the 90s after electronics firms had adopted the rechargeable battery. It has three points. They are the positive, Negative and an Electrolyte (liquid). At times, it also has an electronic controller to prevent energy from overheating.
Pros
Li-ion has a high power density while it’s memory effects are very minimal. Memory effects in this context is a feature that allows battery to become hardened as charging continues. Cost wise, it is more affordable compared to Li-Po.
They have become more popular among business and electronics.
Cons
Li-ion is unstable and deteriorate fast. It is prone to a chemical reaction which causes fire when bridged.
Lithium-polymer (Li-Po)
Li-Po does not use a liquid electrolyte. It uses either a dry solid, chemical compound or gel. Out of these three, gel is the most commonly used and it is adopted in a wide range of modern laptops and cars.
Pros
Li-Po are flexible and robust. They are light and has a slim chance of electrolyte leaks.
Cons
They are costly with Lower energy level. Also, it is not as durable as Li-ion.
