Correction on that, the lithium polymers such as in modern cellphones are a

however, was a thing in many variants.

NMC can still be found in things like handheld power tools.

Today, Li-Po (Lithium Polymer) and LCO (Lithium Cobalt Oxide) are typical options for mobile devices.


I was thinking more along the lines of things like early laptops that switched 
off nicad/nimh while looking at devices on my desk

Back when we spent quite a bit of cash on camcorders, we experienced plenty of NiMH batteries. It's quite an inferior battery, but it served its purpose well, at the time.

I still find NiMH batteries shipping in modern gear today, e.g., low-end electric toothbrushes. I generally avoid these where possible, and buy Lithium-based toothbrushes :-).
