Lithium Ion Polymer Battery Manufacturing Process

Hmmm. Does not a LiPo battery have, by definition, a cathode (or sometimes the anode) containing Lithium?

If no, where do the Li ions come from?

Ah... I see.

The Al and Cu are current collectors, not anode and cathode. See http://cr4.globalspec.com/comment/291021 for a discussion regarding this.

Hi Bob

The only problem I can see is the amount of active ingredient on the foil.your thickness and density before would be "X" and if the foil is thicker then you still have to get back to "X" for the final thickness. you probably have a size restriction of the jelly roll to fit into the can or container, so either put less active ingredient on the foil or compress it down so that the thickness is the same as the old electrode thickness.This will effect the density of the active at any rate for ion exchange from side to side of the separator.

hope this helps
