Battery Care And Maintenance Tips

Ever notice how when you first get a new device the battery life is long and reliable; only to wear out, not take a charge, or the battery life will run out quickly and it will need to stay plugged in for power? Well now there is something that you can do about this.

Rechargeable batteries use what is known as secondary cells because their electrochemical reactions are electrically reversible. This can make all the difference between hundreds of dollars over and over again and be used to your advantage if you know what you’re doing.

These battery tips will help you obtain optimized performance and a longer life cycle from your rechargeable battery.

1. Charge your NEW BATTERY overnight before using it. This is referred to as INITIALIZING and will enable you to obtain maximum battery capacity.

a. Nickel Cadmium or Nickel Metal Hydride: 14-16 hours.

b. Lithium Ion/Polymer: 1 to 2 additional hours after the charger light turns green.

2. Do not removing the battery from the charger until it has completely charged and displays a steady green indication.

3. If used batteries are to be removed from service for extended periods (greater than 30 days) they should be discharged to about 50% of their capacity before storage in a cool, dry location.

4. Stabilize batteries to room temperature (72ºF) before charging. Charging below 40ºF and above 104ºF will decrease cycle life.

You can optimize your battery’s life by using battery reconditioning method. Reconditioning process fully depletes the battery, and then recharges it, which virtually eliminates the memory effect, preserving the lifecycle of your battery.

I recommend you refer to this video presentation about some simple tricks that can brings almost any dead batteries back to life 100% of their working condition.

Using a battery analyzer to test batteries

Battery analyzers provide more complete information about the capacity of a battery than both multimeters and battery testers. This is done by taking a battery through its entire discharge cycle and measuring its capacity as the total amount of useful current that the battery can deliver in amp-hours (or even as specific as milliamp-hours). That is why battery analyzers are often called battery load testers.

You should only use battery analyzers on rechargeable batteries because single use batteries will not be able regain charge back after the test which would be pointless.

The way that a battery powers a device, is by sending an electrical current through it when it is turned on and operating. Therefore, it is very useful to measure the amount of current a battery can produce and the length of time that it can produce it at.

If a battery can deliver a total of 300 mAh (milliamp-hours) for example, then it can provide 300mah of current per one hour, or it can provide 100 milliamps every 3 hours. This works for any combination of current and time that multiplies to 300 (in this case).
