Laptop computers used to run on nickel-cadmium batteries,which experienced the "memory effect,"where they lost capacity over time if recharged before they were drained.That's no longer the case.Newer laptops use lithium-ion or li-polymer batteries.Repeatedly discharging the battery to zero doesn't help a lithium-ion;in fact,it will probably shorten its overall life and capacity.The only situation in which you may need to intentiona

Rechargeable batteries,unlike the standard ones,can be used and reused multiple times before being disposed of.They have the capability to be charged and discharged repeatedly using a charger device which passes an electric current through the batteries.Electrolytic chemicals with a high degree of active life are present in rechargeable batteries.These chemicals allow them to be activated and used even after it has been "exhausted" several times.The types of rechargeable batteries vary depending on the electrolytic chemicals that are used.These include Nickel Meta
