Introduction to Lithium-Polymer Batteries - 2004/05
SEVERAL YEARS AGO we first heard of
model-aviation enthusiasts using Lithium-Ion
batteries to power their electric motors in RC
model aircraft. The Lithium-Ion cells came
from the cell-phone industry, which meant

cells weren’t so adaptable for hobby use.
Along came the Lithium-Polymer cells, or Li-
Poly, and the rest is history.
