Lithium polymer batteries likely replacement for dangerous lithium ion in laptops, says Sony

By Ben Kage, December 13 2006
(NewsTarget) Nine years ago, the lithium polymer battery was hyped for laptops but ultimately discarded in favor of cheaper and more energy-dense lithium ion batteries, but now lithium polymer's "shortcoming" may be the source of its comeback. Lithium is a volatile material, and when it is densely packed into cells as it is in lithium ion batteries, an internal short can cause a chain reaction and result in a fire. Although Sony Electronics touted the energy density and subsequent energy capacity...
