Teide new battery
Normally, a new battery comes in a very low charge condition and must be fully charged before use. See the user manual
your portable electronic equipment for charging instructions. A new battery should be fully charged and
fully discharged or “cycle” as much as five times a condition in which they work at full capacity. Your computer may
report a full load conditions as short as 10-15 minutes when the second battery is being charged
first time. This is a normal phenomenon especially for Nickel Cadmium (Ni-Cd) and nickel metal hydride (Ni-MH) chemistry.
When this happens, remove the / package> and let it cool
for about fifteen minutes and repeat the charging procedure. “Air” (fully discharge and then fully charging)
is necessary to maintain the performance of a battery and is recommended at least once a month
especially for Ni-Cd and Ni-MH batteries. Otherwise, it could result in reduced charge capacity and
significantly shorten the life of the battery packs. Lithium batteries do not require conditioning. It is normal for a battery pack to
warm during charging and during use. However, if the battery gets too hot, this may be a problem with
portable electronics charging circuit and should therefore be reviewed by a qualified technician.
Rechargeable batteries undergo self-discharging when left unused for long periods of time. This is normal particularly in the case of />
computer and stored in a cool, dry and clean. The amount of runtime a battery pack produces depends on the power requirements
component of your electronic equipment.
Do not let the batteries charged at you from taking great photos.
If you often use your digital camera, you may think that after using your digital camera, recharging />
ready to take pictures, right?
Oops … Do that and you’ll be stuck with a digital camera that do not work or just flashes a picture showing a dead
battery.
Rechargeable batteries do not stay charged forever. They tend to lose some of their power every day. If you load
your batteries and often use your digital camera, you probably never noticed power loss. However, after a
couple of weeks, the power loss may be noticeable, and after a couple of months or more of the lack of use, once ready to go
batteries may have lost the power to make them unusable.
Do not fall into this trap. Always charge your
before each trip and be sure to use a battery charger with a sensor that prevents over-charging.
