Li-ion batteries consist of a cathode, an anode, and an electrolyte, with lithium ions moving between the electrodes during charging and discharging cycles. On the other hand, Li-polymer batteries use a solid or gel-like polymer electrolyte, allowing for a more flexible and customizable shape compared to the rigid structure of Li-ion batteries.
Lithium-polymer batteries tend to have a slightly longer cycle life compared to lithium-ion batteries. However, both battery types experience capacity degradation over time. 5. Are lithium-polymer batteries more expensive than lithium-ion batteries? Lithium-polymer batteries can be more expensive to manufacture compared to lithium-ion batteries. . 209 173 50 360 79 367 142 133
