SUMMARY

The discussion confirms that a 3.7V, 1000mAh or 2000mAh Li-ion (LiON) battery can replace a 3.7V, 300mAh LiPo battery in a Car DVR setup. The LiON battery provides a faster current draw capability compared to the original LiPo battery, which can enhance performance. Additionally, LiON batteries are generally considered safer than LiPo batteries, making them a preferable choice for extended use in devices that generate heat.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of battery chemistry, specifically LiPo and LiON technologies.
  • Knowledge of voltage and capacity ratings in batteries.
  • Familiarity with current draw and its implications on battery performance.
  • Basic electronics knowledge regarding device compatibility and safety.
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the differences between LiPo and LiON battery technologies.
  • Learn about battery capacity and its effect on device performance.
  • Investigate safe practices for replacing batteries in electronic devices.
  • Explore thermal management solutions for devices with high current draw.
USEFUL FOR

This discussion is beneficial for electronics enthusiasts, hobbyists working with battery-powered devices, and anyone interested in improving the safety and performance of their electronic gadgets.

Hi! Iam a new guy here. Iam not a physicist, rather veterinarian.
i have a doubt. I have Car DVR with 3.7V , 300mAH LIPO battery. Can i replace that with say 3.7V, 1000 mAH /2000mAH LION battery? Will it be a problem?
In the current setup the LIPO battery is inside the DVR and DVR is getting heated up on continuous use for a period of 6-7 hours. So i was thinking if i can replace this with 1000mAH LION battery and keep it outside the Car DVR. Thanks

Yes.

Infact the LiON with 1000mah will can give faster current draw than the Lipo with 300mah ( it's 300 and not 3000?). You may get problems if current draw is higher than the battery capacity but in this case, the replacement battery has better or faster ability to discharge than the original Lipo

Also, LiON are much safer than Lipo in general
