Ami500,
Are the coin cells lithium ion too? I thought Li-Ion is only a rechargeable battery chemistry?
Correct, Li-Ion batteries are rechargeable batteries, commonly found in cellular phones, video cameras and such. As mentioned above, they don't require to be fully depleted before recharging, but can be charged at any time without noticable damage. (AFAIK)

The lithium ones are the button batteries. You typically find them on all new PC motherboards for example.
They arn't rechargeable, that's why the diode is required so you don't explode it.
Yup, the coin cells are Lithium, but only Lithium, not Lithium-Ion
