Definitions for "Li-Ion"
Keywords:  lithium, nimh, nicd, recharged, digicam
Lithium-Ion batteries offer more energy per volume than Nickel based cells, with a low self-discharge rate. Li-Ion batteries are lighter in weight than earlier battery types, have a relatively long cycle life and generally do not suffer from a memory effect, with disadvantages including more complex charging and protection circuitry, and a higher cost.
A rechargeable battery that is used to power wireless communication devices. Li-Ion batteries are lightweight, have a relatively long life cycle, and generally do not suffer from memory effect. See also Battery, NiCd battery, and NiMH battery.
(Lithium-Ion) Battery - A type of rechargeable battery providing roughly twice the capacity of the more common NiCd battery, but characterized by a shorter service life than a NiCd or NiMH battery. Li-Ion batteries are the lightest in weight of all rechargeable batteries.
