Li-ion batteries do have a memory effect also, but it is apparently quite negligible.

Li-ion batteries should NOT be topped up for extended periods; this will shorten their lifespan considerably.

When storing a li-ion battery for an extended period, it is best if the battery has around 30% charge.

However I am not a real expert on this kind of stuff, please don't take this as gospel, if there is a qualified battery expert who can chime in here, please do :)
