Battery Memory

[lightwisps]

Do rechargeable batteries still suffer if re charged before they are exhausted? Particularly AA batteries and the Battery in a Nikon D200? Thanks, Don

More importantly, you will get an ANALOG FAIL!! when using a D### (any make), with any kind of battery.

Well, be careful. Batteries remember everything. Be very careful what you do or say around them...

They say not, that the newer Lithium batteries have no memory. But, I got into the habit of having spares, running them down before switching, and constantly rotating them, and they seem to last for 5 or more years.
However, the batteries in my and my wife's laptops, which don't 'cycle' because they just sit while plugged in most of the time, rarely make it past 3 years.
I'll stick with completely cycling them, I think.
