Battery Technology Question

[Adrenalynn]

So - I'm wondering - anyone disassemble these before? (surely someone has)

What cells are in these? I've been parroting the "Lithium Ion" - but are they _really_ Li+ or are they Lithium Polymer Ion (aka LiPo)?

Lipo's charge density is ~20% higher. They're safer. They're lighter. They can be formed into just about any shape and size. Their current deliver really makes me feel like they're Li+. Anyone have any info?

TIA!

LOL, yeah I might have taken one or two apart (I like to tinker). The are Lithium Ions. But the batteries have a built in protection circuit. That's why they blink when they are fully discharged.

I'm so sorely tempted at this point...

So I'm assuming they're like f* prismatic rigid Li+. Things that make you go "hmmm", huh?

Thanks for the response, btw!

Yep,
They are Li-on.
