Exceptions to the rule are Li-Ion batteries (Acer Laptop Battery) which do not suffer from the memory effect.

Laptops tend to lose their charm quickly when you’re constantly looking for the nearest power outlet to charge up. How do you keep your going for as long as possible? Here are 15 easy ways to do so.
