1. When not used for a long time, remember to take the battery out of the battery compartment and place it in a dry environment. It is recommended to put it in the brand battery box to avoid short circuit of the battery.
2. Long-term use of nickel metal hydride batteries will be stored a few months later, the battery naturally into a "dormant" state, battery life greatly reduced. If the nickel metal hydride battery has been placed for a long time, it is recommended that you use a slow charge for charging. Because: according to the test, the nickel metal hydride battery preservation of the best condition is charged about 80% preservation.
This is because the self-discharge of nickel metal hydride battery is larger (about 10%-15% a month), if the battery is completely discharged and then saved, not used for a long time, the self-discharge phenomenon of the battery will cause the overdischarge of the battery, will damage the battery. Don't believe it? That you think the nickel metal hydride rechargeable battery that buys newly still has electricity, among them be this truth. Suggestion: compare more, correct the wrong view, from the right direction to start to maintain the battery, otherwise it will backfire.
3. Discharge the nickel metal hydride. Experts advise. Try not to discharge the nickel metal hydride battery, over release will lead to charging failure, the harm of doing so is far greater than the memory effect of the nickel metal hydride battery itself.
4. The multimeter self-check whether the battery is full or not. General nickel metal hydride battery before charging, the voltage is below 1.2V, full of normal voltage in 1.4V or so. So if you look at that, it's easy to look at the state of the battery.
