| 521802 | 2007-02-02 09:40:00 | There is lots of myths about batteries and recharge cycles... like the one about the batteries "memory" where it needs to be fully drained to be recharged... to much for me to go into in a quick post but just Google it. | Chrisn (9819) | ||

NiMH batteries are almost never affected and Li-Ion batteries are NEVER affected. :) it exists in ALL batteries, but the myth came around when the batteries on satellites soon lost life because they were charged from the exact same point each time and over and over again hundreds of times, the only way to replicate the memory effect is in laboratory's. |
