LiPo vs LiOn?

[Bad Santa]

I'm seeing a seller who says the batteries they sell are LiPo.
It's my understanding that DJI uses LiOn batteries.

First, am I correct?

Second, does it sound right that they'd have LiPo batteries?

It's nothing to get hung up about.
A lithium polymer battery is a specific kind of lithium ion battery.

If you want a battery fire, go with the LiPo batteries.

If you want a battery fire, go with the LiPo batteries.

You make it sound like LiPo batteries are more prone to catching fire.
It doesn't matter what type of Lithium ion battery, they are all involved in battery fires.

yep. Battery management is crucial for all lithium batteries
LiPo batteries are more flexible when it comes to shape and configuration and because of this, there can be issues created

Some DJI drones uses LiPo, some uses Li-Ion, but as others have said they are all Lithium-Ion batteries.
The Mavic 4 uses LiNiMnCoO2 - Lithium nickel manganese cobalt oxides - which is also a Li-Ion.
