When people say Li-ion they typically are talking about Lipo batteries (unfortunately). LFP obviously are much better longevity wise.

- jillesvangurp 2y agoNo they are not, they are talking about batteries that contain a lot of lithium. Aside from battery nerds, the finer points of most chemistries are lost the vast majority of people and I doubt even experts would agree with your very narrow definition. In any case, my point was that the car industry and the storage industry is dominated by a wide variety of batteries (most of them lithium based of course; some might say lithium ion even) that have way better longevity than the article suggests is the key selling point of this new battery chemistry. I think it's a bit misleading or sloppy. I'd expect better from IEEE.
- tim333 2y agoI've been guilty of thinking of lithium polymer. Most people have no idea of battery chemistry beyond thinking of the thing that comes with their phone.
