The main purpose of discharging is to clean residual capacity, or to reduce the battery
voltage to a defined level. The same attention should be paid to the discharge process as
charging. The final defined discharge voltage should be set up to avoid deep discharging.
Lithium cells are especially prone to this, if discharged below a minimum voltage it will
cause a rapid loss of capacity or total failure of the cell.
Some rechargeable batteries (NiCd & NiMh) have a memory effect. If they are partly used
and then recharged, they can “remember” this and will only use that part of there capacity
next time. A discharge cycle can help return the battery to it’s normal operating cycle.
It is not recommended to fully discharge and charge Lithium Battery packs. Always keep
partially charged. From new a lithium cells full capacity can be optimized by putting the
pack through 10 or more charge cycles. The cycle process of charge and discharge will
optimize the capacity of the battery pack.
Always refer to the battery manufacturers instructions for charging methods, recommended
charging currents and times.
This is especially true for Lithium batteries. Also note that Lithium cells can be wired in both
parallel and in series. Please make sure you have the correct voltage and capacity before
commencing charging.
Do not attempt to disassemble the battery pack arbitrarily.
