Lipo batteries, short for lithium polymer battery, is a newer kind of technology. It’s made of carbon and highly reactive lithium, which can store a lot of energy.  NiMH battery, short for Nickel-metal hydride battery, is an upgraded version of NiCd battery. Below is the structure of a lipo battery. With the flat structure the inner resistance is smaller.

LiPo batteries offer three main advantages over the common NiMH batteries:

• LiPo batteries are much lighter weight and can be made in almost any size or shape.
• LiPo battery offer much higher capacities, allowing them to hold much more power.
• LiPo battery pack offer much higher discharge rates, meaning they pack more punch.

But, just as a coin has two sides, there are some drawbacks to LiPo batteries as well.

• LiPo batteries have a shorter lifespan than NiCd/NiMH batteries. LiPos average only 300–400 cycles.
• The sensitive chemistry of the batteries can lead to fire if the battery gets punctured and vents into the air.
• Lithium polymer batteries need special care in the way they are charged, discharged, and stored. The required equipment can be expensive.
