No because that means that the terminals have worn out and the battery leaked acid

How do you charge a car battery?
A car battery should not be "cycled" as in fully discharged and then recharged. Such a cycling would quickly destroy this kind of battery. A car battery is discharged slightly when you start your car, then it is recharged again when you drive your car. Proper charging whilst running car engine is good for the battery. A normal car-battery (Lead-acid) can last for many years if not "cycled". Never discharge battery more than 50%. How often you actually need to recharge your battery depends on how it is used.

How do you recharge a lithum battery?
Oooh, be careful! Lithium batteries should not be recharged. They can explode if you try! Lithium-ion (Li-ion) batteries can be recharged, but a special charging circuit that monitors current and voltage profiles as well as temperature is required. This usually means a definite-purpose charger built for your specific battery be used.
How do you know your alternator is bad on 1996 ford contour?
You will need a voltmeter to tell this, unless you are a Psychic lol. With the engine off check the battery voltage at the battery terminals (it should be about 12.6 volts) start the car and the voltage should go to 13.6 to 14.6 volts. This tells you that the alternator is trying to charge the battery. If the battery is old (or it has been sulfated - undercharged or oxidized - overcharged) it may not take the charge. Many local autoparts stores can make this diagnoses for you.

How long does a 8 cell battery last?
An 8 cell battery should normally last a person about 4.5 to 5 hours before it needs to be recharged. As a whole, an 8 cell batter will typically last about a year or so.
This is written on the user manual of an electric shaver that it should be charged continuously and when the battery is low. Why is that?
The electric shaver appears to be capapble of operating on both mains electricity and the internal battery. Mains electricity will keep the battery recharged but if you use the battery to run the shaver then soon or latter the battery will run out of elctricity. Battery Low means No Working Shaver.
How do you replace the battery in a 1991 Chevy Lumina?
take the bracket off that is partially covering the battery. This should be held in place by 3 bolts. after that, all you have to do is take the wires off that connect to the terminals. the battery should just lift out, but may be stuck from corrosion or just if it has been sitting a long time. take the bracket off that is partially covering the battery.

Do you need to let a laptop battery run out?
It depends on the type of battery you have in your laptop.NiCd (Nickel Cadmium) batteries have a sort of memory effect. It is a good idea to cycle (Discharge fully) these kind of batteries as this ensures maximum capacity for longer.NiMhd (Nickel Metal Hydride) does not have this memory effect. They should not need to be discharged fully before being recharged.Memory effect is:The battery "remembers" after a few times of being recharged, when it was recharged. The capacity will then start to drop drastically and begs for a recharge when it reaches the point of where it normally have been recharged before.Example:A battery (NiCd) being at 50% and then recharged will after a few times drop the voltage at 50%. This giving the impression that it is "empty" where it is not really so.Note:The memory effect can be cancelled with a couple of deep discharge and full charge again. The battery is then -revived- brought back to capacity again.
Should you let your computer battery die before recharging?
No, completely discharging a lithium battery will damage it significantly reducing its ability to hold charge. However a lithium battery that is discharged to just a few percent of completely discharged before being recharged will get more successful recharge cycles than one that is recharged much earlier. Its a somewhat tricky balancing act and I have destroyed a few batteries myself by not stopping the discharge soon enough.
Why is the battery dead after driving 45 min. 2006 500CLK?
More than likely your alternator is not keeping the battery recharged and needs replacing. Your battery light should be on if that is the case. If not it may be the battery is defective and will not take a charge. Drive to your nearest auto parts store where they will check the charging system of your vehicle for free in most cases.
Can an American makita lithium ion battery 18v normally recharged through a 110v recharger be usedrecharged in an Australian makita lithium ion 18v recharger at 240v?
18 volts is 18 volts should work just fine. Its the same battery.
