---------------------------------------------------------------------------
➡️Li-ion
🔋Pros:
✅Cheaper to manufacture and easily obtainable
✅Have higher charging cycles, so last longer - 2 to 3 years
✅Tend to be slightly heavier than Li-Po batteries
✅Deliver more power in a smaller form factor than Li-Po of similar size.
🪫Cons:
❌More reactive/unstable
❌Don't withstand heat that well
❌Do not support superfast charging wattage
❌Liquid electrolyte can cause leakages or battery swelling.
❌Higher passive discharge rate
➡️Li-Po
🔋Pros:
✅More stable and can tolerate higher temperatures
(thanks to being encased in a hard or soft-shell).
Makes them safer too.
✅Can easily handle higher charging wattage, hence ideal for fast charging
✅Relatively safer than Li-ion as it uses a gel-like electrolyte instead of a liquid one, so no chance of leakage. (Doesn't swell up easily either)
✅Discharge quite slowly when not in use compared to Li-ion
(but it depends on the device and background apps)
🪫Cons:
❌Bulkier than Li-ion
❌Aren't as easily obtained (but that has certainly changed a lot)
❌Lesser lifespan and lower charging cycles than Li-ion (because of their gel electrolyte.

    Actually lithium polymer batteries have longer life charging cycles if you charge them at the same voltage as lithium ion being 4.35v instead of 4.45/4.5v. I've tested lots of devices and lithium ion can barely hit 600 cycles before losing voltage storage capacity, lithium polymer can withstand more than 800 cycles while charging at 67w 4.45v. no idea about 120w or more, testing now a dual battery device with 150w

    The power delivery part is completely wrong. Lipo batteries although less energy dense, can provide A LOT more current than li ion. High performance racing drone lipo batteries can provide up to 150C current burst. That’s 150x the battery capacity, if we’re talking about a 1200mah cell, that’s 180A of current. Li-ion on the other hand can at most provide 40C, that’s 48A for a same capacity battery. That’s why racing drones will use lipo while long range drones (much weaker) will use li ion batteries.

    Lithium ion batteries actually lasts longer than 2 or 3 years. They can last 5 to 7 years. Generally a Lithium ion battery retains 80 percent of its storage capacity after 500 to 2000 charges. My advice is if you are going to spend a lot of money on a high end cell phone. Purchase one with the largest capacity battery. One that's preferably 5000mah. This way when the battery is reduced by 20 percent due to hundreds of charge cycles. You still have a decent capacity left for phone to remain in service longer.

    Personally, i prefer batteries that last long and have a longer overall life cycles. So i guess that puts me in the Li ion group. Specifically when it comes to phones. I usually have my Samsung phone on battery protection mode, because i would like my phone last me 3-4 years if possible. Fast charging at 15-25watts is plenty sufficient for me, anything slower is definitely a no no for sure. I rarely ever fall into situations where i need faster charging than that. Also, that would require me buying a whole bunch of very fast chargers to make sure i always have one available when i need it.. nah, thats a pass for me.

    My lgv60 thinq supposedly has a li-po and it sucks. The battery drains incredibly fast after having it for about 3 years. I even made sure to often slow charge it and only charge to 70% a lot of the time. I bought the phone new but it had already been released for about a year meaning it may of been manufactured a year before I got it. It has a 5000mAH battery but felt slightly worse than my previous 5000mAH phone which originally had great battery life but had since degraded to just good battery life. Just today I started with full battery, by 12:00 it was at 30%, I was doing nothing but streaming some Bluetooth music, charged it to 90%, 3:30 it was at 30-40% again, charged it again, by the time I was going to sleep it was at like 20%. I don't trust Li-Po at all. Just a way for them to enforce planned obsolescence. Sure weight and safety are nice to have, but lets not act like the li-ion are some super unsafe tech. I have a family of 6, each have owned approximately 3-4 phones each. Never had a battery safety issue. Nor do i personally know anyone who has. Yes they do occur, yes you can find videos online. But in reality that's a small subset. If the trade of of longevity is worth it to you then by all means. But I think most people on average would be better off with li-ion batteries. Also, if li-ion battery can store the same energy in smaller form factor then that's also a major win since it also means it can store more at the same size as a li-po. So every time you get a li-po phone you can just remember if they put a similar size li-ion in there it would be an even larger capacity battery.

    Yes lithium ion are better for steady currents and smaller forms. But the battery drain you mentioned is quite bad for sure. The cell has certainly degraded. I'm using a 2 yr old li-polymer phone that has been fast charged at 66W the whole time. It still maintains good battery health, with at least 5 to 6 hours of screen time. My usage tends to be on the heavier side, so it would work even better with a casual user. I guess lithium tech still hasn't been perfected.

    Battery degradation happens via charging cycles. More cycles (0 to 100%), faster degradation. Also, temperature matters. Higher temps will degrade lithium (both ion and polymer) batteries quicker. Overall, for faster charging and longer use, lithium polymer might be better and safer.

    from my experience Li-Po really do degrade faster than Li-ion probably around 250 cycles would equal to Li-ion 600-700 cycles same level of degradation. this could just be an anamoly as my sample size is not too big. Li-Po when new, is overall better IMO, but i think the reason apple and samsung still stick with Li-ion is mainly the slower degradation.

    The danger with LIPO is that you cant really store them for long periods without using a trickle charger. Lion has much slower self discharge rate and can still be used if voltage drops. Lipo's can swell, explode and degrade much faster over time. If voltage drops below 3Volt in a lipo it causes permanent damage and shouldnt be reused. So keeping a phone with lipo battery as spare phone incase of damage is not a good choice. Lipo is terrible for long term storage and can cause house fires. Your home insurance wont cover anything either incase of a Lipo fire...

    True I bought a Samsung Galaxy note 10 recently to put it against my LG G8 and I constantly have to watch the batteries on my note 10 and I have been daily driving my LG since 2020 and never really watch the battery life in it I can confirm Li-Po has a longer lifespan than lithium ion because I have played allot of games over heating while charging and I am getting the same battery performance to this day. I have played PUBG and Genshin impact consistently running the phone hot in 90° F weather and the performance of the. Battery remain the same don't have to watch the battery slider I be having my phone on 15% and feel confident that it will last the next 2 hours that's crazy 😮 on a 3500 Milly amp hours battery running a 1440p screen and a power hungry snapdragon 855 processor

    I think you are way off on your safety analysis: LiPo are the ones that swell and catch fire . However they are also technically “lithium ion” batteries, just of the type “polymer.” So when you see a soft pack battery , it is LiPo even if it says “Lithium Ion” on it . All Li-Ion type batteries have a hard case, not a soft case.

    for some reason most people prefer Li-Ion over Li-Po and I also personally prefer Li-Po wayyyyyyyy more than Li-Ion. I was even willing to use a lower performance phone with Li-Po which uses Mediatek Helio G95 instead of my old Li-Ion smartphone which has Qualcomm Snapdragon 855 cuz the battery is now like really really suck while my Helio G95's battery is still like 85% of it's performance since I first used it. Li-Ion battery smartphones are a huge turn off for me this time as I tried Li-Po 4 years ago and my opinions never changed at all ever since. As if they just tried to make excuses to reduce their phone cost because Li-Po is said to be more expensive compared to Li-Ion.

    Pros of Lithium Polymer (pouch cells): LiPos hold the highest voltage under load of all lithium batteries so they perform well in high amp draw applications LiPo batteries come in many different form factors so they can be built to fit lots of applications Maintains lower temperatures under high discharge Cons of Lithium Polymer (pouch cells): LiPos are more prone to thermal runaway when punctured or damaged LiPo batteries provide around half the life cycles of a Li-Ion Can be discharged down to 3v per cell Pros of Lithium ion (cylindrical cells): Li-ion batteries are higher energy density (Wh/kg) which allows for longer runtimes and lighter weight Lithium-ion batteries are safer than lithium polymer because of the metal enclosure Can be discharged down to 2.5v per cell Cons of Lithium ion (cylindrical cells): In high amp draw applications, they will have lower voltage under load compared to lithium polymer They are round cells in specific sizes which can create some limitations to fit in certain applications They tend to hold higher temperatures during and especially after performing a higher discharge rate In summary, if you are looking for the highest voltage under load (punch or top speed) then choose a LiPo. If you are looking for the highest capacity for the weight (energy density), choose Li-ion. If safety is a big concern, then choose Li-ion.
