Li-Ion can be recharged over and over without any "memory" problems that you could get from the older NiCad batteries. Alkaline batteries can be recharged, but not well, and not often--most aren't designed for recharging, but are usually more of a throw-away item. Li-Ions also have a longer life expectancy than nicads, and lose the ability to hold a charge, slower than the others. I'm nursing along an original Apple battery in my PB, and have been leaning towards the OWC battery for a replacement--from whiat I gather, Bruce isn't the only one who's had to return a battery for not working, but OWC seems to be aware of the problem and appears quick to get the buyer a replacement.
