If the battery is disposable, it will produce electricity until it runs out of reactants (same chemical potential on both electrodes). These batteries only work in one direction, transforming chemical energy to electrical energy. But in other types of batteries, the reaction can be reversed.
Li-ion batteries have more capacity than Li-polymer and have an even larger size than Li-po. Both Li-ion and Li-polymer batteries are secondary batteries, i.e. rechargeable, and are more costly to manufacture than nickel-based rechargeable batteries. Following are some basic differences between these two batteries.
