Ni-Cd (Nickel Cadmium) the most common type of battery cell is used in cellular phone, camcorder, laptop, and radio batteries. These are the most inexpensive rechargeable batteries, but they are notorious for building a "memory effect" if not fully discharged before re-charging. A battery that suffers from memory effect, also known as "voltage depression", will appear to be fully charged but will only last a short time. Often a repetitive discharge followed by a charge (3 to 4 times in a row) will correct this problem.

Ni-MH (Nickel Metal Hydride) is becoming a popular choice of cellular phone and laptop users, because these batteries have a higher capacity and are virtually memory free. These batteries do not need to be discharged every time before recharging. Ni-MH batteries can be damaged from heat by overcharging but this is easily avoided by using a high quality, microprocessor controlled battery charger.

Li-ion (Lithium Ion) batteries are quickly becoming the choice of anyone who is looking for long life and slim size wrapped into one. Availability is limited to top end cellular phones and laptop computers. These batteries offer the highest capacity and the lightest weight.

mAh (Milliamp Hours) is a measurement used for rating the potential power of battery cells. A battery with a higher mAh rating provides longer talk time and standby time for your cellular phone. Higher mAh ratings usually mean a thicker battery. However, an Ni-MH battery will have a higher mAh rating than a Ni-Cd of the same size, because it stores energy more efficiently. Li-ion batteries are the most efficient batteries available and will pack the same amount of power in an even smaller and lighter battery.

High quality battery chargers, designed for easy use and prolonged battery life are also available as well as cellular phone accessories.
