Are Li-ion batteries affected by “Memory Effect”?

0

No! Lithium ion batteries are not affected by “Memory effect,” which results in a drop in the capacity or voltage of a rechargeable battery. Memory effect is confined only to nickel-based battery chemistries like NiCd and NiMH. For users of portable devices like laptops, unexpected downtimes due to battery failures could be very frustrating. • What is cycle life of a battery? Battery cycle life is the number of times a battery can be charged and discharged before it fails to meet specified criteria as to performance. One battery cycle is defined as a full charge followed by a full discharge. • What is self-discharge? Self-discharge is the loss of charge in a battery when not in use. Unused batteries lose their charge over time. The loss of charge, or self-discharge, is the highest right after charge when the battery holds full capacity. Other factors like humidity and temperature of the storage place also contributes to the rate of self-discharge. All battery chemistries self-discharge
