The
mobile phone batteries are mainly classified in
to four categories.
1. Lithium
polymer type
Li - Poly is the latest and most advanced technology
batteries for cellular phones. It is ultra light
weight and does not explode. It is capable to
release up to 40 % more battery capacity than
the same size of NiMH batteries without suffer
from memory effect.
2. Lithium
Ion type
Li- Ion is also an advanced technology batteries
for cellular phones. It is does suffer from
memory effect and will delver up to 40 % more
battery capacity than the same size of NiMH
batteries. Li - Ion batteries are expensive
and not suitable for older cell phones.
3. Nickel
Metal Hydride Type
NiMH batteries are also not suffered from memory
effect. Compare to Ni Cad batteries it will
run 40% longer on each charge and have double
battery life.
4. Nickel Cadmium Type
NiCad batteries are of older technology and
suffer from memory effect. This will reduce
the batteries overall capacity, run time and
life span. Also they must be completely discharge
before each recharge.
