Discharging
The main purpose of discharging is to clean the residual capacity of the battery, or to reduce the
battery’ voltage to a defined level. The same attention should be paid to the discharging process
as the charging process. The final discharge voltage should be set up correctly to avoid deep
discharging. Lithium batteries cannot be discharged to lower than the minimum voltage, or it
will cause a rapid loss of capacity or a total failure. Generally, lithium batteries don’t need to be
discharged. Please pay attention to the minimum voltage of lithium batteries to protect them.
Some rechargeable batteries have a memory effect. If they are partly used and recharged
before the whole charge is accomplished, they remember this and will only use that part of their
capacity next time. This is a ‘memory effect’ It is said that NiMH and NiCD batteries are suffering
from memory effect. NiCD has more ‘memory effect’ than NiMH.
Do not attempt to open, disassemble, or service the battery pack. Frequent full discharging
should be avoided if possible. Full capacity cannot be reached until it has been subjected to 10
or more charge cycles. The cyclic process of charge and discharge will optimize the capacity of
battery pack.
