Li-Ion Battery

From Catherine Roseberry, for About.com

Definition: These batteries are made from Lithium and are ideal for mobile devices such as laptop computers. They do not forget they are charged and have the longest operating times without being recharged. They are also much lighter than earlier made batteries and more environmentally friendly for disposal.<br> Li-Ion batteries are more expensive than NiCad or NiMH batteries.
Examples: Laptops using Li-Ion batteries are ideal tools for mobile workers as they can work for longer periods of time without electricity.
