What is Li Po battery? What is Li Ion battery? What is 3 cell, 6 cell battery?

In this article we will learn about the common types of battery technology on laptops , the pros and cons of each. Besides, you will know whether the nature of the battery cell number on the laptop represents a longer use time.

1. What does cell battery on laptop mean?

Each battery cell on a laptop is essentially a Li-ion or Li-Po battery . Multi-cell batteries have many batteries inside .

Because the nature is just counting the number of batteries inside, you should not completely rely on the Cell number to determine whether your laptop battery buffalo or not.

To calculate battery life on a laptop is quite complicated and has a lot to do with the power consumption of each component, so the amount of battery capacity, no matter what unit, does not help you calculate accurately .

Instead, consider the manufacturer's test-based claims . The actual number of battery life you get is usually about 70% of the number that the manufacturer announced.

For example, you need to buy a laptop to use at least 8 hours without charging , now you should pay attention to the battery buffalo laptop model, the battery life is announced from 11, 12 hours .

2. What are Li-ion and Li-Po batteries?

Li-ion or Li-Po batteries are rechargeable batteries . Has similar principle of action and chemical composition . Integrated on electronic devices such as laptops, tablets , phones , ...

The difference is that Li-ion batteries use a type of organic liquid inside to store energy. As for Li-Po using the dry polymer sheet .

3. Advantages and disadvantages of Li-ion battery

2.1. Advantages of the Li-ion battery

The number of uses (charge and use) is very long, from 500 to 1000 charges.

Easy to manufacture and cheap.

2.2 Disadvantages of Li-ion Battery

Volatile, capable of igniting if used incorrectly.

Heavier than the Li-Po battery, the design isn't varied.

Must charge for 8 hours in the first charge.

Both charging and using, will make the battery hotter and faster bottle, more suitable.

4. Advantages and disadvantages of Li-Po Battery

3.1. Advantages of Li-Po Battery

Available in many shapes: L-shaped batteries to suit a wide range of devices.

Less fire and explosion, safer than Li-ion batteries.

Very long battery bottle, can be charged when you want.

There is no need to charge for 8 hours the first time.

3.2. Disadvantages of Li-Po batteries

The price is about 30-40% higher than the Li-ion battery.

Above is the experience and explanation of similarities - differences between types of batteries, cell batteries. Hope you will have more knowledge to choose a laptop like that.
