Lithium Polymer Batteries, a new technology, safer and slipper
Lithium-ion polymer batteries, polymer lithium ion, or more commonly lithium polymer batteries (abbreviated Li-poly, Li-Pol, LiPo, LIP, PLI or LiP) are rechargeable batteries (secondary cell batteries). Normally batteries are composed of several identical secondary cells in parallel addition to increase the discharge current capability.
Lithium-ion batteries have taken over the portable electronics industry in the last few years. For every unit of energy they contain, they are lighter, cheaper, and smaller than other kinds of batteries. They don't suffer from the 'memory' effect that gave nickel batteries a bad name, they contain relatively few toxic metals and are fairly simple to recycle.
But, in the last year, several battery makers pushed the limits of energy density in Li-ion batteries too far. Li-ion batteries use organic solvents to suspend the lithium ions. In situations where the structure of the battery is compromised, that solvent can ignite and vent from the pressurized battery. The result is a dangerous and toxic fireworks display you can see in a video at the end of this article.
In response to the dangers of packing more power into a Li-ion battery pack, portable electronics makers are turning to lithium polymer batteries. You might see it abbreviated as Li-Po (yes, like the Chinese poet) or Li-poly, or you might see it in it's complete and extended form "lithium ion polymer batteries," they all mean the same thing.

QUESTION:
White Macbook Battery Life??...?
I purchased my white macbook this past august and i know the battery life is suppose to be up to 10 hours on a single charge...i use coconut battery to check the battery life and the amount of times i have charged it...currently it says i have had 78 charges and the battery has 90% capacity left from its original 100 when first bought...my battery will not last more than 5 hours...is it a defected battery?/....should i bring it to genius?...help me outANSWER:
no, my new macbook pro has a supposed 10 hour battery too, it only has a 10 hour battery if everything's on the lowest setting and you're nat using applications. So basically an open computer using only finder would last for 10 hours
