I recently bought new Enegon batteries for the DSLR cam I use to make videos.
Unfortunately, one of them died on me the first time I used it.
This was particularly surprising given that the batteries got very good reviews on Amazon.
So, I decided to open up the dead battery…
I was NOT happy with what I found inside!!
Everything these days is powered by batteries: power tools, mowers, cars, etc.
But why does this even work?
A quick look at the power provided by lithium-based batteries should make even armchair techies cringe!
Something doesn’t add up… So, what’s the secret?

So, what’s The Secret?
If you’ve got any kind of gizmo – laptop, tablet, e-book reader, cell phone, MP3 player, cordless screwdriver or drill, etc. – then you’re using lithium-ion batteries all the time.
Lithium-ion batteries, often abbreviated as Li-ion, are extremely common these days.
But what about so-called Lithium Polymer batteries, also called LiPo or Li-poly batteries? Are they really better?
If you believe the marketing folks, yes they are. But, as it turns out, you’ve been fooled just like me!
