woolyhead 15 #1 Posted July 30, 2020 When charging NiCad cells at C/10, if the charging is interrupted, how soon before the memory effect comes into play when charging resumes? Is there perhaps scale of how different lengths of interruption time produce how much memory effect? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
Ghozer 112 #2 Posted July 30, 2020 (edited) It takes multiple cycles of ending around the same point for the memory effect to start kicking in.. It also depends if these are pure / individual cells, or part of a whole pack... Edited July 30, 2020 by Ghozer Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
woolyhead 15 #3 Posted July 31, 2020 (edited) That's good to know. Thank you Ghozer. The reason I asked is that I was obliged about six times during a single charge up to stop charging my 16 volt battery before it was fully charged and I needed to know whether this had affected its final capacity or not. So now I know. By the way, the end cell problem I had been having has now gone away because I have a better set of cells. There must have been something wrong with one or more cells in the old set.
