Notebook Batteries
There are several types of notebook batteries, and because their technologies differ a lot, a laptop must be designed specifically for the type of battery it uses. Most notebooks are designed to use only one type of battery.
The nickel cadmium battery used to be the most commonly used battery type. These batteries could be charged only a limited number of times, and could be easily ruined by being left on the charger for too long. “Memory effect" was one more problem.
The next type was the nickel metal hydride battery. These batteries could hold more power, but there still was some of memory effect.
The latest technology for notebook batteries is lithium ion. Although these batteries hold approximately the same amount of power as nickel metal hydride, they are significantly lighter and superior. Such batteries don't have a memory effect and last considerably longer than their forerunners. So if your notebook supports multiple types of batteries, you should consider lithium ion batteries as the best choice.

You should never store your battery in an area with the temperature dropping below 50ºF or rising above 95ºF, so don't leave the battery in a car or in the area that is not climate controlled.
