Segway Batteries
This process is called "Cycling" in the battery industry. Simply put, this is the process to submit your battery to full charge and was unloaded, this reduction or elimination of the "memory effect" turns out, that in normal use with nickel-cadmium (NiCd) and nickel metal hydride (NiMH) batteries. Although this process has shown to increase the capacity for free of NiCd and NiMH batteries, batteries that are found commonly in cell phones and laptops and never (Pb) lead-acid batteries, perform this process on lithium-ion (Li-ion) never , are often for automobiles and makes backups. Check always your battery pack before you start, they should show what kind of batteries in the Pack are included.
Segway Cycling should be free of charge etc. significantly increase procedures for budget or handheld battery that performs NiCad or NiMH capacity, including many common elements, such as cordless phones, shavers, power tools.
First a little about the phenomenon of memory effect (already mentioned), occurs in NiCd and NiMH batteries. The memory effect happens when the device with these types of batteries discharge just a small part of its potential capacity before a recharge, as talks about a cordless phone for a few minutes at a time, or take a short ride on the Segway, then place it on the charger and repeat this process allows. In the course of time the cells within the battery pack "remember" the short duration of use, and then act as if this duration as its full capacity.
At this time to determine that that not performs device, where it often need to be charged, and his time of the operation is reduced.
Most of the time, can your battery cycle and to regain much of its lost. This simple procedure can take a little time, but it is easy to do.
Everything what is necessary, use the device or allow it to discharge, to the point that the battery almost fully unloaded. As an example of a cordless phone, you would press to use 'on' or 'speak' and the phone, until it turns off due to weak battery to enable. The battery then the phone without interruption. Repeat this operation three-to five times. Thus, the memory effect to reverse and restore time.
A word of caution: when a device during this process to empty it almost is, have not completely unload. Complete discharge for NiCd and NiMH can be harmful for these types of batteries. Most elements, such as cordless phones and Segways will automatically be switched off is before a full discharge. Elements such as cordless drills and razor should not be left unattended left, because they not switched off before the full delivery be. Therefore, my husband is often found around his razor or cordless drill in hand waiting for the note, the that the battery is at the end of its life cycle run. You'll see when it just stops or slows down to a crawl.
By the way, we this cycle process with our Segway done and received more than 30% increase of in total capacity after only 3 cycles. We stopped the Segway is leaning against a wall in a safe, secure place, even dismissed in balance mode until the batteries. Have you prevented no fear - the Segway total discharge of cells by isolating itself from the full battery discharge.
Don't worry, if you see an increase, but not after the third cycle, which means that only the batteries have a new memory and are ready to go. Even if you don't, get a boost in performance, this indicates fault or even dead cells such as charger a more serious problem, damaged.
Cycling is easy and inexpensive. Try it and have always battery life for each cycle so that you can see to increase performance. The last but not least you can enjoy all the money that you save all this poor high-performance battery replaced!
