generator and cordless batteries?

Hi, most rechargeable batteries develop a memory, so if you only use 50% of the full charge and then recharge them and keep doing this they tend to then only give the full charge for 50% of the time, ideal method is to totally flatten them before recharging this will ensure a better battery life, but the batteries only have a limited amount of time that they can be discharged and recharged NICAD are worse tham LiON for this
