It's not really unstable and none of mine have ever exploded. This is more likely due to hardware faults that cause the battery to overheat, by over charging or poor circuitry that's using the battery."
oeman50 replied: "Just to be clear, there are two types of batteries here, lithium and lithium-ion. Lithium batteries have a lithium electrode and are disposable. Lithium-ion batteries are rechargeable and are the ones used in laptops, cell phones, etc.
Lithium batteries can discharge quickly and have a high energy storage capacity, so if you have a short circuit, it can generate a lot of heat and vaporize the water in the electrolyte causing an explosion. This is why many of them today have either vent or a current limiting device built in. For the much the same reasons, a lithium-ion battery has the same protection, although the energy storage capacity on a unit volume is not as high as lithium batteries.
I would not characterize either battery as "unstable" or "ready to explode". As with any technology, they have limitations that must be realized. I've seen a transformer that plugs into the wall short circuit and cause a fire. If you have energy, this stuff can happen."
Whats the difference between Lithium-ion Battery and a Lithium-ion Polymer Battery? I was reading this atricle about the iPod Classic and it said it used Lithium-ion polymer battery, and lithium-ion battery.
Whats the difference between Lithium-ion Battery and a Lithium-ion Polymer Battery?
And which performs better?
Sorry, if I have this question in the wrong category.

"The advantages of Li-poly over the lithium-ion design include lower cost manufacturing and being more robust to physical damage. Lithium-ion polymer batteries started appearing in consumer electronics around 1996.""
