Features of Lithium-Ion (Li-Ion) batteries

Lithium-Ion batteries have several features that make them more suitable for use in portable
other materials used, such as Nickel Hydride.
Lithium-Ion batteries are better for the environment as they do not contain any regulated ma
mercury, cadmium, lead etc.
You may be mistakenly lead to believe by the name that Lithium-Ion batteries contain Lithium
contain no Lithium metal and are therefore safe to carry by air transport.
A great advantage of Lithium-Ion batteries is their ability to be recharged for between 300
Ion batteries exhibit no "memory effect", as is observed with repetitive shallow discharge a
batteries

6.8.2 Charging Li-Ion batteries
The following points should be born in mind for the charging of Li-Ion batteries:
Li-Ion batteries require a constant charge voltage of 8.4V for all G600 battery chargers (du
and handsfree charger).
Charging will be at 1.5CmA (where C is the nominal capacity of the battery). The charging cu
decrease to OA while the battery voltage remains constant.
