The NiCad or nickel cadmiun battery develops a "memory" of its duty cycle (called - surprise! - "memory effect") if it is used in a "pattern" for a while. If, say, a 2-way radio is used only a few minutes a day over a number of days and then put back on a charger after each use, it will "remember" this. If an attempt is made to use the radio for more time, the batteries just "drop dead" and the radio is unusable.

A machine to recharge batteries is a?
It is called a battery charger.
Can a bad alternator drain a good battery?
It doesn't actually drain the battery, but without a working alternator to recharge the battery it will only discharge as the car is operated.
Can rechargeable batteries be charged by a car battery charger?
It's a good idea to avoid charging any battery with a charger that was not designed specifically for that kind of battery. A car (vehicle) charger is generally designed to recharge 12 volt lead acid batteries. (The actual voltage of the battery and charge is a bit higher than 12 volts.) Rechargable battery packs come in different voltages, and many if not most are not lead acid types. A lot are nickel-cadmium or lithium types, and they need a "controlled charge" that a vehicular battery charger will not be able to provide. And that's setting aside the issue of the voltages of the battery and the charger, which is critical.It's a bad idea to attempt to recharge a battery with a charger that is not designed to recharge that "flavor" of energy storage device.

How long does it take to charge a 12 volt 20ah golf trolley battery?
There is no specific answer. It's like asking how long it takes to fill the gas tank in a car. There is chemical energy in gasoline, and also in the battery electrolyte. How much energy was taken out? The more that was taken out, the longer it will take to put it back in. And what is the original capacity of the battery? There is a limit on how fast the tank can be filled or the battery charged, too. This will also affect recharge time. To some degree, the capacity of the charger to deliver "optimal" charging amperage contributes to the recharge time. Lots of variables, lots of uncertainty.
Do you need to let a ni-mh battery die all the way before you recharge it?
No, Nickle Metal Halide batteries are actually the friendly replacement for the Nickle Cadnium battery (Ni-Cad) that were prone to developing a memory if not completely discharged before recharging. Go ahead and recharge that battery when you need to and don't worry about memory developement, it wont happen with that battery type.
How do you fix a dead battery?
recharge it or get a new battery
How can you use the word recharge in a sentence?
You would recharge the battery if it were not working
How can recharge secondary cell?
By forcing electrodes through the positive terminal of the battery which becomes the anode in the recharge process of a battery
How do you reset battery?
There is no such thing as resetting a battery. You can recharge it but not reset it.
How often do you have to recharge your Droid?
You should only recharge it when the battery gets low.
Will a car battery recharge during short trips?
generally it only takes a few minutes to recharge your battery, depending on how dead it is.
Can you recharge a truck PC by driving around?
Yes why not, you can recharge your truck PC by driving around. To recharge the PC first the truck battery should be charged. Driving recharges truck battery because every truck has a power generator inside it but you cannot recharge your truck battery if it is not working properly the acid level of the battery should be maintained properly. Better you check your battery before recharging battery.
A machine to recharge batteries is a?
It is called a battery charger.
How long does it take to recharge a standard AA battery?
It can take anywhere from fifteen minutes to two hours to recharge a normal AA battery, depending on the state of the battery and the charger.
How do I recharge a car battery?
Car batteries recharge themselves while your car is running. However, if your battery is dead, you must jump the battery using a battery jumper box or jumper cables attached to another vehicles's battery.
Can an AA battery recharge a phone?
Yes
