The complexities of producing Li-Ion batteries accounts for a price premium. Each Li-Ion battery also requires a specifically built charger to accommodate that type of battery; this means that chargers are more expensive as well, and aren't universal to all types of Li-Ion batteries. The Li-Ion battery has a built-in chip that protects the battery from over and undercharging, and ensures a longer battery life. This computer chip, however, doesn't allow the battery to continue accepting charge once that battery's energy level has dropped below a certain point. Once this happens the battery is essentially dead. Li-Ion batteries also rely on this circuit to stay cool. Since Li-Ion batteries lose charge so slowly, and the battery and charger are so advanced, it's fairly simple to keep batteries temperate and at a safe charge level.
