How using lithium polymer batteries can save you some money

A kind of revolution in battery technology is happening right now.
In a market that was once dominated by the likes of lithium ion and nickel-based batteries,Lower your electricity bills with lithium polymer batteries Articles more and more portable electronics makers today, including mobile phone giant Apple, are turning to the cost-saving, higher profit yielding lithium polymer technology. 
Lthium polymer batteries are in fact rechargeable batteries which have technologically evolved from lithium ion batteries. But their light weight, high power output and slow rate of self-discharge have made them extremely popular in laptop computers like the Apple MacBook family, mobile phone applications, radio controlled devices and even bigger machines like electric cars.
Another key reason that makes lithium polymer the ideal battery is its costsaving benefits.
Here are some of the advantages that make lithium polymer batteries the leading choice in helping businesses save electricity costs through delivering superior energy efficiency:
- The unique advantage over any other battery is that lithium polymer batteries can be customized to any shape or size, to fit any device. Thanks to their limitless design flexibility, it is possible to fit higher energy capacity into the lithium polymer cells within a particular cavity in a device. 
- Lithium polymer batteries have a low self-discharge rate. This allows energy to be distributed more efficiently and hold its charge for many months and even years.  This is particularly useful in energy storage systems designed for use in vehicles where the battery is able to hold its charge when the vehicle isn't moving. As a result, the vehicle does not consume more energy than necessary, yielding higher electrical savings.
- Lithium polymer batteries are proven to be longer lasting in mobile phone applications. Unlike lithium-ion batteries that are limited to approximately 300 charge/discharge cycles, lithium polymer batteries can at perform at high operations for over 500 full charge/discharge cycles. That's 60% more use and even after 500 cycles, the battery retains 80% of the charge capacity. 
- In terms of economy of scale, lithium polymer batteries are able to deliver a greater wattage per dollar than their nickel-based counterparts. This means they have the ability to work harder even at a lower voltage.
