CELL 1500 mAh Single Cell Lithium-ion Rechargeable Polymer Battery

A 1500 mAh Single Cell Lithium-ion Rechargeable Polymer Battery is a higher-capacity version of the lithium-ion battery, providing 1500 milliampere-hours (mAh) of energy storage. Here’s a detailed description of this type of battery:

1. Capacity:

• With a 1500 mAh capacity, this battery can deliver 1500 milliamps (1.5 amps) for 1 hour, or it can supply a lower current for a longer time, depending on the device’s power requirements. It offers more runtime compared to lower-capacity batteries, making it suitable for devices that need more power.

2. Chemistry:

• This is a Lithium-ion (Li-ion) battery with Lithium Polymer (LiPo) technology. The Li-ion chemistry provides high energy density, meaning it can store more energy in a smaller and lighter package. The LiPo format is more flexible than traditional cylindrical cells, allowing it to be molded into various shapes, which is ideal for compact and slim designs.

3. Rechargeability:

• It is a rechargeable battery, meaning it can be used and charged multiple times. Depending on the usage, it could last for several hundred to a few thousand charge cycles before the capacity starts to degrade significantly.

4. Voltage:

• This battery typically has a nominal voltage of 3.7V, with a fully charged voltage of 4.2V and a cutoff voltage of around 3.0V to 3.2V. It’s important not to discharge below this voltage to prevent damaging the battery.

5. Applications:

• The 1500 mAh capacity makes this battery suitable for medium-power devices, including:
  • Smartphones and tablets
  • Drones and remote-controlled vehicles
  • Wearable tech (smartwatches, fitness trackers)
  • Portable speakers
  • LED lighting
  • Bluetooth devices
• It provides a balance between size, power, and run-time, making it useful in a wide range of portable electronics.

6. Form Factor:

• As a polymer battery, it can come in different shapes and sizes, which can be more adaptable and space-efficient for various designs compared to standard cylindrical Li-ion cells. This allows manufacturers to optimize the design of their products.

7. Safety:

• Lithium-ion batteries generally include built-in protection circuits to prevent issues like overcharging, over-discharging, short circuits, and excessive current draw. This ensures the safety and longevity of the battery. Despite these protections, it’s still important to use the battery within recommended specifications to maintain safety and performance.

8. Advantages:

• Higher energy density, meaning it can store more power without significantly increasing weight or size.
• Flexible and lightweight due to the polymer form factor.
• Long cycle life, especially when properly cared for.

9. Charging:

• These batteries typically require a specialized Li-ion charger designed for 3.7V batteries. They should be charged within the voltage limits to avoid overcharging or undercharging, which could reduce the battery’s lifespan.

This 1500 mAh Lithium-ion Polymer Battery offers a good mix of capacity, flexibility, and performance for portable electronics requiring moderate to higher power consumption.
