Knowing what type of battery you are using and which one you already have can help you decide what battery is most suitable for you and how to maximize their performance. Below are the different types of cell phone batteries and some useful information about them.

Lithium Polymer (Li-Poly) Batteries

Lithium Polymer battery is the latest technology on the cell phone battery industry. This battery can endure memory effects, which usually damage a regular rechargeable battery. It has a thinner and lighter physical properties compared to a Nickel Metal Hybrid battery. The battery life of a Lithium Polymer exceeds as much as 40% of a Nickel Metal Hybrid's battery. It also has higher durability, which prevents it from exploding even when it is physically damaged.

Memory effect results when a rechargeable battery is repeatedly charged without draining it first. The battery recalls the truncated phase, which can reduce the battery's life and performance.
