Are Li-Ion Batteries susceptible to memory effect?

Question

My new camera has Li-Ion batteries. Is that the type that can be safely "topped up" with the charger even though they may not be totally empty yet?

Li-Ion Batteries are not susceptible to the 'memory effect' and can be charged at any time. According to the producers, it's even better to do that than wait until the battery is completely drained.

Thank you, both. That's reassuring.

Answer 2

Lithium-ion batteries are common in portable consumer electronics because of their high lack of memory effect, and slow self-discharge when not in use.
