A battery maintainer is essentially a small battery charger that sends small amounts of energy to your battery. Doing so lets the battery sit for long periods of time without any activity and lets the battery retain a full charge. They can also help extend the life of your battery by preventing damage to your battery.
Many people have asked “can I use NiMH (Nickel Metal Hydride) batteries in my solar lights that have NiCd (Nickel Cadmium)?” And the answer is, yes! Not only can you replace with NiMH, but they are the better choice of battery as they have benefits that their NiCd counterparts don't.
Nickel- and lithium-based batteries require different charge algorithms. A NiMH charger can also charge NiCd; a NiCd charger would overcharge NiMH. Do not leave a nickel-based battery in the charger for more than a few days. If possible, remove the packs and apply a brief charge before use.
Never charge an NiMH cell with incorrect charger: It is never acceptable to charge a battery of any form with a charger that may be unsuitable. NiMH cells cannot be charged with a NiCd charger as end of charge detection will not work.
The rate of self-discharge increases when power cells are exposed to hot temperatures, so storing them in the freezer helps them retain a charge. It's clear that storing batteries in the freezer doesn't help replenish them. It helps the batteries retain their charge.
Proper Care and Maintenance. Proper care and maintenance will prolong the life of any product, including your rechargeable batteries. With appropriate care and use, you should expect 2-7 years from most rechargeable batteries.
The battery should be discharged before storage. If the battery is to be stored longer than a year, it should be fully charged and discharged at least once a year to maintain performance.
There are three primary battery types available for consumer use. They are alkaline, nickel metal hydride (NIMH), and lithium ion. Each type has its pros and cons. Each one also has a distinctive place in technology history.
On the performance scale, Li-ion batteries outperform NiMH in most categories. They have a longer overall life cycle of five years, compared to the NiMH life cycle of two to five years.
What is an AGM battery? In technical terms AGM stands for Absorbed Glass Mat. An AGM battery is different to regular batteries because the electrolyte liquid (battery acid) is absorbed into the glass mats like a sponge instead of the sulphuric acid being free floating as in a conventional battery.
