The Memory Effect occurs when rechargeable batteries aren’t discharged fully between charge cycles. The result is a reduced capacity of use per charge. It most commonly occurs in Nickel Cadmium (NiCD) and Nickel-Metal Hydride (NiMH) batteries. Studies show that successive cycles of incomplete charging and discharging causes small memory effects that eventually build up, causing the […]

Actually, it is one of the major causes of early failures of sealed or wet cell batteries (along with vibration and damaged charging plates). ​What Causes a Sulfated Battery?​ Sulfation is not a strange phenomenon. Lead acid batteries often develop […]
