No, pa gremo lepo po vrsti. Pri skoraj vseh odgovorih sem zasledil neumnosti iz neznanja, ki ga prenašate iz roda v rod. Pa gremo lepo po vrsti v glavnem za Ni-Cd.
It is best to fast charge nickel-based batteries. A slow charge is known to build up a crystalline formation on nickel-based batteries, a phenomenon that lowers battery performance and shortens service life. The battery temperature during charge should be moderate and the temperature peak kept as short as possible.
Battery manufacturers recommend that new batteries be slow-charged for 24 hours before use. A slow charge helps to bring the cells within a battery pack to an equal charge level because each cell self-discharges to different capacity levels. During long storage, the electrolyte tends to gravitate to the bottom of the cell. The initial trickle charge helps redistribute the electrolyte to remedy dry spots on the separator that may have developed.
Some battery manufacturers do not fully form their batteries before shipment. These batteries reach their full potential only after the customer has primed them through several charge/discharge cycles, either with a battery analyzer or through normal use. In many cases, 50 to 100 discharge/charge cycles are needed to fully form a nickel-based battery. Quality cells, such as those made by Sanyo and Panasonic, are known to perform to full specification after as few as 5 to 7 discharge/charge cycles. Early readings may be inconsistent, but the capacity levels become very steady once fully primed. A slight capacity peak is observed between 100 and 300 cycles.
The charge efficiency factor of a standard NiCd is better on fast charge than slow charge. At a 1C charge rate, the typical charge efficiency is 1.1 or 91 percent. On an overnight slow charge (0.1C), the efficiency drops to 1.4 or 71 percent.
The typical end-of-discharge voltage for nickel-based batteries is 1V/cell. At that voltage level, about 99 percent of the energy is spent and the voltage starts to drop rapidly if the discharge continues. Discharging beyond the cut-off voltage must be avoided, especially under heavy load.
Since the cells in a battery pack cannot be perfectly matched, a negative voltage potential (cell reversal) across a weaker cell occurs if the discharge is allowed to continue beyond the cut-off point. The larger the number of cells connected in series, the greater the likelihood of this occurring.
If the battery is discharged at a rate higher than 1C, the more common end-of-discharge point of a nickel-based battery is 0.9V/cell. This is done to compensate for the voltage drop induced by the internal resistance of the cell, the wiring, protection devices and contacts of the pack. A lower cut-off point also delivers better battery performance at cold temperatures.
All batteries exhibit a certain amount of self-discharge; the highest is visible on nickel-based batteries. As a rule, a nickel-based battery discharges 10 to 15 percent of its capacity in the first 24 hours after charge, followed by 10 to 15 percent every month thereafter.
All NiCd batteries in regular use and on standby mode (sitting in a charger for operational readiness) should be exercised once per month. Between these monthly exercise cycles, no further service is needed. The battery can be used with any desired user pattern without the concern of memory.
The NiMH battery is affected by memory also, but to a lesser degree. No scientific research is available that compares NiMH with NiCd in terms of memory degradation. Neither is information on hand that suggests the optimal amount of maintenance required to obtain maximum battery life. Applying a full discharge once every three months appears right. Because of the NiMH battery’s shorter cycle life, over-exercising is not recommended.
A hand towel must be cleaned periodically. However, if it were washed after each use, its fabric would wear out very quickly. In the same way, it is neither necessary nor advisable to discharge a rechargeable battery before each charge — excessive cycling puts extra strain on the battery.
Exercise and Recondition — Research has shown that if no exercise is applied to a NiCd for three months or more, the crystals ingrain themselves, making them more difficult to break up. In such a case, exercise is no longer effective in restoring a battery and reconditioning is required. Recondition is a slow, deep discharge that removes the remaining battery energy by draining the cells to a voltage threshold below 1V/cell.
Recondition consists of a discharge to 1V/cell at a 1C load current, followed by a secondary discharge to 0.4V at a much reduced current. NiCd batteries affected by memory often restore themselves to full service.
