Manufacturers have varying methods to specify battery performance. What may seem like unimportant details, can significantly change the perceived performance of a particular battery. This article is in reference to lead acid batteries, but the general principals can apply to other battery types as well. Here are some things you have to consider:
Myth: Lead acid batteries can have a memory effect so you should always discharge them completely before recharging.
Fact: Lead acid battery design and chemistry does not support any type of memory effect. In fact, if you fail to regularly recharge a lead acid battery that has even been partially discharged; it will start to form sulphation crystals, and you will permanently lose capacity in the battery.
