Introduced in 1996, lithium polymer or “lipo” batteries are a variation of the familiar lithium ion battery. The polymer-based design eliminates the metal casing of traditional lithium batteries, making them lightweight and ideal for cell phones, PDAs and similar electronic devices. It is not difficult to charge a lipo battery, but it is vital that you follow steps. Improper charging can cause the batteries to overcharge. This will not only shorten a lipo battery’s life, but it is also a serious fire hazard. Warnings Writer Bio
