  How to Choose Between Lithium ION and Lithium Polymer Batteries - Ultralife Batteries, Inc. | Engineers
Early polymer cell and battery designs were very similar to that of conventional lithium ion batteries, offering no significant points of differentiation or enhanced product features and application engineers could not justify the tradeoffs with regard to increased design costs with the promised safety enhancements afforded by lithium polymer designs.
Lithium ion batteries consist of a cathode of lithiated metal oxide or phosphate, and a graphite anode separated by a polyethylene or polypropylene separator material in a non-aqueous electrolyte.
Lithium polymer batteries have the same common electrochemistry as conventional lithium ion batteries – they have a lithiated oxide cathode and a graphite anode held together in a binder matrix of polyvinlydiene fluoride and coated and/or laminated to a current collector grid.
