What kind of rechargeable battery does it have? Nickel-cadmium or Lithium Ion?

Sorry, beats me. Whatever it is, it works. So, I have not had the occasion to even be curious.

It specifies Lithium rechargeable batteries. I am having trouble finding rechargeable batteries that are lithium...most are Ni-MH. Can these still be used? (Sorry for the ignorance...I have never used rechargeable batteries!)

Lithium only according to booklet. Like the lithium better than ni-cad. Smaller and lighter. They recharge in an hour. The smaller packs that comes with are all right. They last about one hour. Keep your charger handy and the second battery charged. If you are going to use it a lot buy the heavy duty lithium pack. They cost about 120.00 at home depot. Which is a licsened repair for Ridgid tools. Lithium runs at a consistent voltage and amps till the battery get to a point and shuts down. Where the ni- cad runs down continuly losing power through the charge.

Raed all about it here:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nickel_metal_hydride_batteryPay special attention to "Low Self Discharge Batteries"

Yes. It uses Lithium Ion 1.5aH rechargeable batteries. Dewalt number DCB201

The battery doesn't indicate its type but the charger says for Ni-cad or Metal halide only. So, I'm pretty sure it is Ni-cad.

It works fine with my charger... seeing as it's intended to replace a Nickel Cadmium battery I think the specs are close enough with the nickel-metal halide... not like it's a Lithium Ion that are known to explode if charged differently.. anyway.. for the price.. how can you lose??

No. Ni-Cad batteries don't seem to bounce back as well as Li-Ion and once the battery is dead there is no hope for it. I had to replace 2 batteries so I bought two Li-Ion with the required charger and I have been very satisfied with the performance improvement in terms of power and running time.

I just received mine (April 8), and it's a lithium ion, according to the package.

Just researched Hoover website: battery is a "Nickel Cadmium", AKA 'NiCad'. That said, it is best NOT to leave it on charger, as it will shorten battery life. Have said that, I will buy something that has lithium battery pack ('LiPo', LiOn', etc). They may cost slightly more, but they are far superior in performance and life expectancy. BTW, you CAN leave lithium packs on charger, altho it's really not necessary, as they KEEP their charge much longer than NiCads do.

Michael, because these are Nickel Cadmium (Ni-Cd), they have a memory. In other words they remember how low their charge gets, before they are recharged, Charging them too soon, will prevent you from getting all the battery has to offer. Try to charge them when they get very low. That way you'll get the longest life from them. Keep in mind that the hotter the batteries get, the more internal damage occurs. Try not to let them get too hot. Their life cycle will be shortened. Use them, charge them, and then use them again is probably the best bet, unless you have some sophisticated temperature, current and an adjustable charger at hand. Norm

Ni-Cad batteries are the older technology ones. NiMH and Lithium are the newer ones and should be purchased when possible. Also, charge your phone overnight then take it out of the charger until it needs charging again. Don't leave it in the charger stand all the time, this "cooks" the battery and shortens the life.

Thanks for your question! According to the manufacturer this is a Lithium battery. I hope this helps!

It has a Lithium Ion rechargeable battery Type SLB-10A 3.7V 1050mAh (3.8 Wh) that is available from Samsung, but there are also third party manufacturers such as Lenmar DLSG10A. A very good camera, by the way. Very good pictures and very durable and versatile.

No, Li batteries have different voltage characteristics than Ni-Cd ones. They also do not fit physically Ni-Cd charges.

The battery is a Li-ion battery, 3.7v, 1700mAh/6.29Wh. Even though it is branded as a D-link NP-120, other battery mfgs make this same battery. Just type in NP-120 battery in Amazon search. The NP-120 is used in many other electronic devices and seems to be available from many sources.

I believe they are Li-ion. They are small and light and seem to have good duration in use.
