The NiCd Rechargeable Battery and the Memory Effect

• Some say that a NiCd rechargeable battery can suffer from a memory effect.
• The theory is that if you recharge a NiCd battery before it's mostly discharged, the battery will remember the capacity at which you recharged it.
• This reduces the capacity of the battery.
• It's a theory and there is a theoretical fix.
• Completely discharge the battery from time to time before recharging.
