What is meant by “no memory effect” on NiMH batteries?
Memory is a type of problem that traditional NiCD batteries usually develop. You probably have heard that in order to maintain the life and performance of rechargeable batteries, you have to fully drain the batteries before recharging them. Thanks to “memory free” technology used for NiMH batteries, you can charge them anytime you wish, regardless if the batteries are fully drained or not. My camera came with 1600mAh Batteries. Can I still use 1800mAh Batteries or will they hurt my camera by being to strong. Sure you can use the 1800 mAh batteries. 1800mAh denotes the capacity of a battery, not its strength. Capacity is how much charge a battery holds once it is fully charged.. The more capacity, the longer a battery will last in any given application. Voltage is the strength. Rechargeable batteries actually develop around 1.4 to 1.45 volts when fully charged even though they are marked as 1.2V.
