Charge Retention of Li-Polymer (LiPO) Battery Packs

1. What is Charge Retention? Charge retention refers to a battery’s ability to retain its stored electrical energy over time when not in use. This is inversely related to the self-discharge rate, which measures the rate at which a battery loses capacity on its own, without any load. For LiPO batteries, charge retention is one of their strengths […]

Comparison of Li-ion, LiPO (Lithium Polymer), and LiFePO₄(Lithium Iron Phosphate) batteries advantages and disadvantages.

1. Li-ion (Lithium-ion) Typically refers to cylindrical (e.g., 18650 li-ion) or prismatic cells using NMC or NCA chemistry. ✅ Advantages: High energy density → longer run time for given size/weight. Relatively long cycle life (500–1000+ cycles). Low self-discharge (~1–2% per month). Widely available and mature technology. Stable form factor (especially cylindrical 18650/21700 cells). ❌ Disadvantages: Thermal runaway risk if punctured or […]
