After Sony's disastrous year in 2006 with numerous laptop batteries being recalled, they plan to move over to lithium polymer batteries instead of lithium-ion. This development is of particular interest to Dell, Apple, Lennovo, Toshiba and other OEM manufacturers since they faced a lot of battery recalls over the year. The batteries were recalled because of faulty lithium ion cells which caused laptop batteries to catch fire and explode.
The older lithium ion design requires to be held in an organic substance and contained in a metal casing making for a volatile situation if the battery were to leak. On the other hand, Lithium Polymer stores the lithium in a solid polymer composite, a more stable and safer designed.
Apple started shipping lithium polymer batteries this October with some of its Macbooks. Lithium Polymer is already being used in some PDAs and cell phones.
