  • Rechargeable Nickel Cadmium Portable Power Tool Battery Tips And Information
    By: ebattery.com.au | - Memory Effect

    NiCad batteries are prone to what is referred to as the "memory effect". What this means is that if a battery is repeatedly only partially discharged before recharging, the battery "forgets" that it has the capacity to further discharge all the way down. To illustrate: If a tool operator, on a regular basis, fully charges a NiCad battery and then uses only 50% of its capacity before the next recharge, eventually the battery will become unaware of its extra 50% capacity ...

  • Tips On Longer Power Tool Battery
    By: judy | - First off, most power tool batteries are made up of several smaller cells packed inside the battery casing.
