The lithium-polymer battery is a new, rechargeable lithium-based battery. Lithium polymer was developed as a lower cost and more stable version of the lithium-ion cell. But there are certain safety measures that need to be followed when using such polymer batteries. They are also known as lipo cells.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS:
• Never allow Lithium battery to be charged or discharged on or near combustible materials, this includes paper, plastic, vinyl, carpets, leather, wood, inside an R/C model or full-sized automobile.
• Do not put packs in the pocket of any clothing.
• Never allow lithium batteries to come in contact with moisture or water at any time.
• Never store the batteries near an open flame or heater.
• Never assemble Lithium batteries or pre-assembled packs together with other Lithium cells/packs. Only a qualified battery assembly company should assemble or modify LiPo batteries.
• ALWAYS make sure that metallic objects, such as wristwatches, bracelets, or rings are removed from your hands when handling a lithium polymer battery. Accidentally touching battery terminals to any such objects could create a short-circuit condition and possibly cause severe personal injury.
Besides the safety measures, the disposal of lithium batteries also needs to be disposed of properly. Lithium-polymer batteries are environmentally friendly, still, there are some things that need to be kept in mind.
• For safety reasons Lithium batteries should be fully discharged before disposal (however, if physically damaged it is NOT recommended to discharge LiPo cells before disposal – see below for details). The batteries must also be cool before proceeding with disposal instructions.
