Lithium polymer ion batteries provide the performance of lithium-ion batteries in a thin or moldable package. They do not use volatile liquid electrolyte and can withstand significant loads without exploding or burning.
Lithium polymer uses a polymer gel electrolyte that replaces the conventional liquid electrolyte. Lithium polymer finds its market niche in ultra-thin geometries, such as batteries for credit cards and other such applications. The expected lifetime is over 500 cycles.
