For the metal element, see Lithium. A lithium-ion battery or Li-ion battery (abbreviated as LIB) is a type of rechargeable battery in which lithium ions move from the negative electrode to the positive electrode during discharge and back when charging.
1 Do not discharge Li-ion too low; charge more often. 2  A random or partial charge is fine. Li-ion does not need a full charge. 3  Limit the time the battery resides at 4.20/cell (full charge), especially if warm.  Moderate the charge current to between 0.5C and 0.8C for cobalt-based lithium-ion.
