History of Lithium Polymer Batteries

Batteries are the first practical way of generating electricity and were invented by Alessandro Volta. Before generators came into the scene, batteries were the main source of electricity till the end of the 19th century.
Every year there was a certain improvement in the battery technology which assured that there was something exceptional to come. Many scientists and engineers developed several commercial important batteries, one of them being the wet cells which were used on a large scale in the telegraph and the telephone systems.

Batteries are the first practical way of generating electricity and were invented by Alessandro Volta. Before generators came into the scene, batteries were the main source of electricity till the end of the The ancient electric cars also used the semi-sealed wet cells. This background of the batteries was the key for the development of the LiPo cells. The discovery of the Lithium Polymer Battery cells came because of the Lithium-ion and lithium-metal cells as they went to depth in the 1980s. A significant, yet remarkable milestone was the first commercial Li-ion cell of Sony in 1991. There was a revolution thereafter which introduced a pouch form of battery called “LiPo”.
