I have a Kodak camera with the Li-Ion rechargeable battery. Is this the kind of battery with no memory, so I can recharge it anytime without shortening the life of it, or do I have to run it till the battery is completely dead to recharge it?
It’s a Kodak KLIC-7001 battery BTW.

> 100–265 W·h/kg 250–693 W·h/L 400–1200 cycles A lithium-ion battery or Li-ion battery (abbreviated as LIB) is a type of rechargeable battery in which lithium ions move from the negative electrode to the positive electrode during discharge and back when charging. Li-ion batteries use an intercalated lithium compound as one electrode material, compared to the metallic lithium used in a non-rechargeable lithium battery. The electrolyte, which allows for ionic movement, and the two electrodes are the ...
To answer your question, No.
