Do I need to let the batteries drain...

[The Man]

Do I need to let the batteries drain down all the way before recharging them? I’ve been told that you can start charging lithium ion whenever you want, but I can't find any info about the battery type I have. It’s an E9 starter from Red Dragon.

Also… If mine isn’t a LI battery, are there any models that are lithium ion?

Thanks

its ok to recharge before they are drained all the way/

OK cool. That answers my primary question then. Just for curiosity... anyone know what these batts are made of?

Thanks

They are all Lithium Ion, and they definitely do not have a memory problem as nickel cadmiums do. LI batts are primarily made up of lithium oxide, carbon, and cobalt. You can charge them from any point of discharge with no adverse effects. they should be properly recycled as they do contain valuable metals.

batexp thanks, love the avatar. Monkey no see, monkey no do?

I work near our recycling facility so that should be NP.

Thanks

If I'm not mistaken, they do better if you recharge well before they really need it.

But anyway, don't take my word, or my memory at face value.
