What is the "Memory Effect" on a Battery?




Memory Effect is the common term used to replace the more accurate term "Voltage Depression". The memory effect is a condition that results from not charging the battery properly and from living the battery with a fix charge or no charge for very long periods. Basically on batteries that have NiCad or  NiMH Chemistry you need to discharge the battery completely the first few times and after that every so often. The so called memory Effect does not apply to Lithium Based battery.
