Li-ion (Lithium Ion). This is one of the newest cell types available. It is also the lightest battery type currently available on a commercial basis and can provide more power than the other main cell types. There are no known problems of memory effect with this battery type and it is the easiest battery type to care for. The downside of this battery is that it has the highest engineering costs and therefore the price is usually considerably higher than other cell types.

quot;LI ION" stands for Lithium Ion and is the most advanced battery technology available to consumers today. Li-Ion batteries are 50% lighter than the NI MH (Nickel Metal Hydride) batteries and will run your device about 50% longer. They are, however, more expensive.

Batteries in portable consumer devices (laptops and notebooks, camcorders, digital camera, etc.) are principally...

Ni-Cd rechargeable batteries are a mixture of Nickel and Cadmium. The cadmium represents +/- 15 of 20% of the battery weight. They are ideal for most types of domestic devices such as alarm-clocks, calculators, remote controls, torches... Ni-MH rechargeable batteries are a mixture of Nickel and Metal Hydride. They are 2 to 3 times more powerful than cadmium-based rechargeables and they have no memory effect.

Li-Ion cells are rapidly becoming more diffused, especially since their costs are decreasing. The characteristics of these cells, permit packs of higher performance in less bulk and weight. For portable applications, this can be a major advantage.

All refilled batteries has to be fully charged/discharged at least 1 to 3 times(3 cycles)depending on your computer. Some batteries require more than 10 cycles to fully recognize refilled cell capacity. This is because of the Digital Memory effect. To change memorized charging capacity prior to refill, you need to reset power Options. Follow these steps, After changing these settings, charge and discharge battery fully one to three times.

Some laptops take Ni-Cd cells as well as Ni-Mh. However, we do not recommend changing the cell chemistry.

In future maybe, but not right now. Ni-Cd still offers a much better cost performance. These cells are the fastest to re-charge and the best load current deliverers. Peak currents of 20C can be achieved, making them ideal for power tools, say. Their main disadvantage is of course, the memory effect. They are also environmentally hazardous. (Some countries are already restricting their usage).
