It almost brought tears to my eyes to see onesecondple say no. I'm so tired of expalining this every fucking day to the older folks and such..

 

Little known facts:

 

'Memory Effect' is the common term used to replace the more accurate term 'Voltage Depression.'

 

Voltage Depression is more a problem with incorrect charging than a battery problem.

 

Voltage Depression does not necessarily permanently damage a battery. It can most likely be corrected by fully charging and discharging the battery.

 

Voltage Depression ('Memory Effect') is often incorrectly used to explain low battery capacity that should be attributed to other problems, such as inadequate charging, overcharge, or exposure to high temperatures.

 

Voltage Depression can be affected by the discharge rate of a battery. Generally speaking, the depth of discharge will be less on discharges at the higher rates. This increases the capacity loss as less of the active material in the battery is cycled.

 

Voltage Depression occurs primarily in NiCad batteries. NiMH batteries are almost never affected and Li-Ion batteries are NEVER affected.
