---------------------------------------------------------------------------
➡️Li-ion
🔋Pros:
✅Cheaper to manufacture and easily obtainable
✅Have higher charging cycles, so last longer - 2 to 3 years
✅Tend to be slightly heavier than Li-Po batteries
✅Deliver more power in a smaller form factor than Li-Po of similar size.

🪫Cons:
❌More reactive/unstable
❌Don't withstand heat that well
❌Do not support superfast charging wattage
❌Liquid electrolyte can cause leakages or battery swelling.
❌Higher passive discharge rate

➡️Li-Po
🔋Pros:
✅More stable and can tolerate higher temperatures
(thanks to being encased in a hard or soft-shell).
Makes them safer too.
✅Can easily handle higher charging wattage, hence ideal for fast charging
✅Relatively safer than Li-ion as it uses a gel-like electrolyte instead of a liquid one, so no chance of leakage. (Doesn't swell up easily either)
✅Discharge quite slowly when not in use compared to Li-ion
(but it depends on the device and background apps)

🪫Cons:
❌Bulkier than Li-ion
❌Aren't as easily obtained (but that has certainly changed a lot)
❌Lesser lifespan and lower charging cycles than Li-ion (because of their gel electrolyte.
