We offer three different types of mobile phone battery

• Nickel Metal Hydride
  
• Lithium Ion 
  
• Lithium Polymer.

 The basic differences between these types of mobile phone batteries and further battery information is detailed below.

Nickel Metal Hydride (NiMH)

These batteries were introduced in the early 1990's as an improvement over older chemistries like Nickel Cadmium (NiCd). Although they may have a very slight memory effect, NiMH batteries are much more reliable than previous chemistries. Compared to a NiCd battery of equal size a NiMh battery will run for 30-40% longer on each charge. NiMH batteries can also be recharged 60% in just 15 minutes. The unique NiMH chemistry packs much more power than NiCd. Additionally NiMH batteries often have twice the lifespan of NiCds.
We stock an extensive range of Nickel Metal Hydride batteries.

Lithium Ion (LiION)

The most popular batteries available. Li-ION have replaced NiMH batteries for many phones because they provide 4 distinct advantages :

1) 40% longer Standby and Talk Times than NiMh.
2) Lighter and more compact than NiMh batteries.
3) LiIon batteries do not suffer from memory effect .
4) The battery lifespan will be over 30% longer than NiMh batteries because the cells can accept more charge cycles.

How it works

During discharge, lithium ions Li+ carry the current from the negative to the positive electrode, through the non-aqueous electrolyte and separator diaphragm.
 During charging, an external electrical power source (the charging circuit) applies a higher voltage (but of the same polarity) than that produced by the battery, forcing the current to pass in the reverse direction. The lithium ions then migrate from the positive to the negative electrode, where they become embedded in the porous electrode material in a process known as intercalation.

Lithium Polymer (Li-Poly)

The newest and most advanced technology for cellular phone batteries. This brand new chemistry of battery allows for the most compact cells available. Li-Poly batteries are extremely light and in most cases very thin allowing for the highest battery life for the size. Lithium Polymer batteries share all of the benefits of Li-Ion plus can last up to twice as long.

Standby and Talk Times

Standby and Talk Times are affected by a number of variables such as Digital vs. Analog NiMh vs. Li-Ion Model and Age of Phone, Temperature and Humidity. These variable factors make it difficult to determine the exact amount of Standby and Talk Time any given cellphone battery will provide. Also in simple terms the higher the mAh rating of the battery the longer the Standby and Talk Time will be.
Note: mAh – stands for "milli Amp hours" and is the measurement of a battery’s storage capacity.
