Default Lithium Memory?

I haven't been able to find this anywhere, although I'm sure it's been covered. Do lithium polys have memory like nicads and nimh? Or are they like lead acid, where you can charge them over and over again with using only half of the pack? Just curious.

Lithiums are different from Nickel. They do not have the memory problem, will hold their charge much longer and not need to be "topped off".

One problem. They will last just for a year. Don' store them - use.

I have a HP jornada handheld PDA that has li-poly batts, going on 2.5 years now with very little degradation in power... alot of it has to do with how they are treated.
