If you have at home a remote controller, mp3 player, Ipod, digital clock, digital camera, then you know what is the divergence amid rechargeable and non rechargeable batteries. You probably employed a good deal of dissimilar batteries, including rechargeables and non-rechargeables, Alkaline and Oxyride, Energizer and Duracell and so on. In this article I would like to present some tips of prolonging battery life. There are a heap of rumors with regards to prolonging battery life and a good deal of of them are true. Firstly, you must recognise that most mutual rechargeable batteries are NiMH (nickel-metal hydride cell) and NiCd (nickel-cadmium). The abbreviation NiCd is derived from nickel (Ni) and cadmium (Cd). NiMH battery uses hydrogen-absorbing alloy rather of cadmium. If you just purchased NiMH or NiCd, they need to be totally discharged and charged 3 times before using them. That way you will prolong their life, other than as supposed or expected the battery might loose it is capacity over time in a phenomenon known as “memory effect”. It’s ok to entirely discharge batteries before using them even if they are old. Secondly, you must recognise NiMH and NiCd batteries self discharge at a much more immediate rate than Alkalines. It is calculated that at room temperatures NiMH and NiCd will self discharge at a rate of few percents per day, while Alkalines will self discharge at a rate of less than 2% per year. So storing Alkalines in a freezer will not support much, but it could aid if you did so with NiMH and NiCd batteries. NiMH’s stored in a freezer could retain over 90% of their power for full month. However, do not use them without delay after taking out of the freezer. Wait until they reach room temperature. If you don’t want to store your batteries in a freezer, store them in arid and cool place, without heat situations. Thirdly, rechargeable batteries must be wholly discharged and charged at least once each three months. Fourthly, it is always better to recharge your batteries slowly. Try to keep out of the way of using all those quick chargers, that recharge batteries in a timeframe amidst 15 and 30 minutes. Some of them are good, and a lot of not so good. They might harm your battery. A battery that is slow charged will most likely last a bit longer than the one that is quick charged, nevertheless the divergence is very small. Try not to overcharge your batteries. Overcharging will reduce the life of batteries and repeated overcharging will seriously reduce it is life. |
