Re: Let battery go empty before reloading. Q: Why ?

The memory effect is only really applicable to NiCads. NiMH and Lithiums do
not have this phenomena.

It could also be the gas guage inside the shaver. Some gas guages need the
battery to be completely discharged so they can get a low reference point.
Frequent short charge discharge cycles allow the errors to build up. A good
discharge resets everything.

Hello,

The lady at the barber shop said the following:

She let the battery of the shaving device go completely empty before
reloading it with power. (she had a spare already loaded).

She said otherwise it doesn't load properly.

I think I am noticing the same effect on my own shaving device.

Right now I am completely letting it go empty, it's taking forever, this
is the second time in years that I am doing this.

It's like the battery never loaded properly because of all the quick
loading in between while it still had some power.

It's like the shaving device never had enough power to do a good shave
after only one maybe two times of usage.

Has anybody else noticed this effect ?

I believe the barbershop lady, she has many years of experience shaving
lots and lots of people.

Now comes the real question:

What's going on inside the battery during these quick loads ?

Why doesn't it load fully for good shaves many times ?

Why must it be drained completely first for good/full loading ?

After the shaving device is completely emptied and re-loaded I shall
report back on how many good shaves I could do !

Probably gonna take some weeks ;)

Bye,
Skybuck.
