Really easy, isn’t it? At least much more than manufacturing with sulfuric acid, or to make the chips from any mobile phone. Notice that Li-Po Batteries were designed to be cheaper and lighter that Li-Ion, now, Why can’t I drive an EV with them? (These are Lithium-Metal Polymer batteries, not Li-Ion)

Well, lithium & lithium ion are different & the technology is tightly held secret. Mine is lithium ion, no sizzle cause it appears to be copper and zinc electrodes laminated with lithium and then layered or wrapped. It’s like two half cells or multi-cells or something. NASA claims or bluffs that the lithium laminate electrolyte boosts the charge rate, but the copper and zinc electrodes could be some kind of lithium alloys, with electrolyte carbon or graphite, or something. Nobody knows.

is that ross from Friends narrating??

so cheap but sell for a million!!!! why?
#5 by emforty2 at May 15th, 2009
there’s only very few sources of lithium and what if the oil companies that made billions windfall profits bought all of them
now were screwed….AGAIN !

Wow. You pretty much took this straight from “How It’s Made” and redubbed the lines.

Hell i hate Lipo (litium Polymer)
I wouldn’t want to blow up the hell out of my car.
Lithum polymer = Large chance of HUGE explotion
Lithum ion = SAFE!!!!

lipos can be safe aswell. as long as you take care of them and charge/discharge them properley.
#9 by samiam95124 at May 28th, 2009
Last time I checked, gasoline is also flammable
and can explode as well.
#10 by Zeropointbug at June 5th, 2009
you = STUPID!!!
lipos and lions are the same as far as safety you idiot, when run within specs.
#11 by GeeksRus95 at June 6th, 2009
Li-Po is worse for explosions. lol…
#12 by Archimedes555453525 at June 24th, 2009
Under which circumstances does LiPo blow up?
#13 by GeeksRus95 at June 25th, 2009
When they’re overcharged badly they’ll start slowly expanding then then split open in a firery explosion (more fire than boom).
#14 by Archimedes555453525 at June 25th, 2009
That’s not good, is it? Isn’t there a kind of way to prevent the batteries becoming overcharged? Or a fire-extinguisher unit?
But beside those inconveniences, I think an electric car is worth it, considering the low price of recharging and the better acceleration and all that. The range is also becoming much better then it used to be, right?

Yeah, I Guess So, I mean there not all bad if you look after them

their is 100 trillion dollars of oil in the ground if any company tries to make electric cars big oil will have them killed.
if any politician tries to make it happen they will be killed. its the world we live in baby
#24 by picmario at August 6th, 2009
memeone, it’s a nice video, but you misunderstood something: Li-pol batteries are also lithium-ion batteries too. There are so many electrolytes that can be used in a lithium cell, some of them are organic, some chlorinated or fluorinated compounds, some liquid, some are gel, some are solid at room temperatures – so are useful at elevated temperatures mostly. All of the electrolytes are ion transfer mediums. Just some have higher plasticity or elasticity than the others.

Thanks. I know, but in fact I shouldn’t have written Li-Pol or Li-Ion, but Li-Metal-Pol.
