Should rechargeable batteries be fully discharged before recharging them?
No, it is not necessary to fully discharge rechargeable batteries before recharging them. In fact, it is better to recharge them before they are completely drained to prolong their lifespan.
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.
Can you leave NiMH batteries on the charger?
It is generally not recommended to leave NiMH batteries on the charger for an extended period of time as it can reduce their overall lifespan and performance. It is best to remove them from the charger once they are fully charged to prevent overcharging.
How long does it take for camera batteries to charge?
The time it takes for camera batteries to charge can vary depending on the type of battery and charger being used. On average, it can take anywhere from 1 to 4 hours to fully charge camera batteries. It is important to refer to the specific instructions provided by the manufacturer for accurate charging times.
Is it safe to leave batteries on the charger for an extended period of time?
It is generally not safe to leave batteries on the charger for an extended period of time as it can lead to overcharging, overheating, and potentially cause damage to the battery or the device it is powering. It is recommended to unplug the charger once the battery is fully charged to prevent any potential risks.
Should rechargeable batteries be fully discharged before recharging them?
No, it is not necessary to fully discharge rechargeable batteries before recharging them. In fact, it is better to recharge them before they are completely drained to prolong their lifespan.
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.
Should you charge your airsoft battery when it still has juice?
It depends on what type of battery it is. Ni-CD battery do need to be discharged completely before recharging it (I would recommend getting a discharger), Ni-MH batteries can be discharged but don't need to be, and Li-PO batteries should absolutely not be discharged completely, because they catch fire and explode when fully discharged (Ni-CD batteries have a memory effect, while Ni-MH and Li-PO batteries do not).
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.
Lithium Batteries Have No Memory Effect?
When you buy lithium polymer batteries, you can do so with the knowledge that they do not have the dreaded memory effect. This new technology is much better than the batteries that used to be used in computers, phones, and the like. These batteries would remember how full they were when you plugged them in, and they would count that as being empty, even if they were not. The lithium polymer batteries do not do this.
Do virgin mobile phones come charged?
No - for safety reasons, all new phones are shipped with their batteries fully discharged !
What is best to take the battery out of laptop or to leave the battery in?
Consult the manufacturer's documentation for how to extend battery life on a given laptop. Things will differ. From what I have seen in the documentation I have read it does nothing either way to remove the battery, unless you swap in a fully charged one. (I have a couple of laptops that I do exactly this, I have 2 batteries for each so I can swap in the fully charged one, then when both are discharged I recharge both. For both machines the manufacturer suggested always deep discharging batteries to extend their life.) Apple seems to recommend keeping both permanent and removable batteries near full charge most of the time, with an occasional deep discharge followed by fully recharging them. The exception to this is if the machine will be unused for several months, the battery should be discharged to about 25% of capacity before putting the machine in storage, then immediately fully recharged after removing the machine from storage before use. But other laptop manufacturers may have entirely different recommendations.
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.
Is it ok to charge an iPod battery before it is fully discharged?
It is always good to charge a battery to its full capacity before it is fully charged.
Does charging your cellphone every night fry its battery?
No, the charger should not cause harm; but it will waste mains power.Rechargeable batteries should be allowed to be almost fully discharged before recharging. Recharging a partly charged battery will shorten its life.
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.
Should you charge a new battery?
Rechargeable batteries normally have to be charged fully before first use.
