Re: How to extend the battery life of your notebook (Score: 0) by Anonymous on Sunday, September 17 2006 @ 22:29:17 CEST
Thirs step is complete rubbish, and I recommend you read this page: http://www.dansdata.com/gz011.htm
Quoting from it "
"Memory effect" is now used as a general term for anything that makes a battery not deliver its full capacity. What the term originally referred to, though, is a phenomenon that's probably never actually been observed in consumer hardware.
True memory only happens in sintered plate NiCd cells (which aren't necessarily the sort of NiCd you're using, and are of course completely different from any kind of NiMH cell), and it only happens when you precisely discharge a cell to exactly the same level over and over again, and recharge it without any overcharge. True memory effect happens in satellite power systems, electronics test labs, and practically nowhere else.
