Lithium Ion (Li-ion): most modern cordless phones use lithium ion batteries as they offer the same energy as Nickel Metal Hydride batteries but weigh less. Li-ion batteries differ from other types as the do not suffer from the memory effect.

Nickel Cadmium (Ni-cd): if your cordless phone uses a Ni-cd battery then it is important you allow it to fully discharge before recharging to benefit from its full capacity.
