Lithium battery technology is based on the material characteristics of lithium - the lightest metal with the highest electrochemical potential of any solid material. The technology has not yet fully matured and is still being improved continuously as new metal and chemical combinations are being tried to increase energy density and prolong service life.
In many ways, lithium is superior to nickel and lead-based chemistries and the applications for a lithium battery are growing as a result. One of the most exciting applications of course is in the radio control hobby field.
A lithium battery prefers a partial rather than a full discharge and frequent full discharges should be avoided when possible. Instead, charge the battery more often (they are good for 300-500 discharge/charge cycles) or use a larger battery. There is no concern of memory when applying unscheduled charges.
