Memory effect from leaving the NI-MH batteries in the charger (on trickle charge) is something new to me...

Do not discharge before each charge for NiMH

but is that what the refresh mode on NP-E3 charger does?? discharge the battery before charging :think:

My laptop battery failed because of idleness for a few months,
since it was a backup system, so few months never used. When
finally needed it, the battery is dead.

if possible turn off refresh mode
only use refresh mode once in a while
3 months, as what the website says

Does that explain why my NiMHs always die out after some 80+ recharges?
Still, interesting.
