What else can I help you with?
Should you charge your iPad without it being dead?
It is not a requirement. All Apple devices use lithium-ion batteries and can be recharged whenever it is convenient, whether fully discharged or not. The need to fully-discharge the battery prior to charging is only of relevance to nickel-based batteries. For more information on Apple batteries, see related links below.
Do NiMH batteries have memory, and if so, how does it affect their performance and lifespan?
NiMH batteries do not have a memory effect like NiCd batteries. Memory effect is when a battery "remembers" its previous charge level and loses capacity if not fully discharged before recharging. This means NiMH batteries can be recharged at any time without affecting their performance or lifespan.
What is the difference between Lithium batteries and Lithium Ion batteries?
Lithium batteries are composed of pure lithium in its metal form and are generally meant for one-time usage; they cannot be recharged. Lithium ion batteries, on the other hand, contain electrolytes of the lithium ion; these can be discharged and recharged many times. The lithium ion batteries have several advantages over other rechargeable batteries. For one, they're smaller in size and also have high voltage so that fewer cells are needed. Secondly, when idle, they lose charge at a slower rate compared to the other batteries, and hence are long-standing once fully charged.
Why is there a constant beeping on your 2004 c230 radio?
The door to the tape deck is not fully closed.
Which rechargable batteries can be partially recharged without ruining the battery life?
A rechargable deep cycle battery can be fully discharged without damaging the battery. Any auto battery cannot be discharged without damaging the battery. Any dry cell rechargable battery can be fully discharged without damaging 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.
If the battery is not in use is it better to disconnect it and emptied the battery and keep it in dry place?
Rechargeable batteries will store for short periods of time, but I suggest you fully charge it first. Batteries will also, over a period of time discharge themselves while in storage, so it should be recharged from time to time. How often? It depends on the type and size of the battery.
fully rested and recharged?
to rest and relax for a period of time so that you feel energetic again: People use the spa to relax and recharge. Employees should be allowed to take breaks and do what is necessary to recharge. She took a trip to the South of France to recharge her batteries.
Does the weight of batteries increase when they are fully charged?
Yes, the weight of batteries does increase when they are fully charged due to the additional chemical energy stored in the battery.
What does it mean to precondition batteries?
By fully charging and fully discharging some batteries the expected charge time can be increased. Some rechargable batteries will last longer per charge if they are fully discharged before you recharge them again. Recharging batteries before they are fully discharged may cause a battery memory effect that will allow the battery to run for a shorter period between recharges.
Are batteries heavier when they are fully charged?
Yes, batteries are typically heavier when they are fully charged because they contain more energy stored in the form of chemical reactions.
Why don't rechargeable batteries fully recharge?
It could be that the batteries are getting old and need to be replaced.
