the battery (down to about 1.0 V per cell) after charging it.
If a full discharge followed by a charge cycle is done several
times, a battery suffering from voltage depletion (voltage
depression, memory effect, or whatever you would like to call
it) should be restored back to its normal voltage and capacity.
NiMH and Nicad batteries, start to lose power when stored for
only a few days at room temperature. But they will retain a
90% charge for several months if you keep them in the
freezer after they are fully charged. If you do decide to store
your charged NiMH cells in the freezer or refrigerator, make
sure you keep them in tightly sealed bags so they stay dry.
And you should also let them return to room temperature
Rechargeable alkalines work well for some uses but, they are
not a good alternative for use in digital cameras. They
typically have an even lower capacity than standard alkaline
batteries. This means that if a standard alkaline only lasts for
a few exposures, a rechargeable alkaline will last for even
fewer!
If the batteries are of the same type, i.e. both are NiMH or
both are Lithium-ion, then you can use a higher capacity (i.e.
higher mAh) battery instead of the lower one. The reverse is
also true. Using a higher mAh rated battery will allow the
device to run longer on a charge. So a camera should take
more pictures and a music player can play more songs.
