Lithium polymer battery
	A lithium polymer battery used to power a smartphone
Specific energy	100–265 W·h/kg (0.36–0.95 MJ/kg)
Energy density	250–670 W·h/L (0.90–2.63 MJ/L)

A lithium polymer battery, or more correctly lithium-ion polymer battery (abbreviated as LiPo, LIP, Li-poly, lithium-poly and others), is a rechargeable battery of lithium-ion technology using a polymer electrolyte instead of a liquid electrolyte. Highly conductive semisolid (gel) polymers form this electrolyte. These batteries provide higher specific energy than other lithium battery types and are used in applications where weight is a critical feature, such as mobile devices, radio-controlled aircraft and some electric vehicles.^[2]
