Does this battery have a "memory".... Can I charge it while still half full WITHOUT decreasing the life of the battery??

I'm not sure. I have charged it when it wasn't completely empty and it was fine.

In my opinion I would say . Recharging while still half charged will indeed shorten the batter life. It will be over a period of time. It will be hard to say how fast. Best ans. use till quits & carry a spare

Sadly, I'm not able to answer that question adequately at this time. I haven't had mine long enough to know. As a habit, I do remove the battery once I'm done with it. But I use mine until all charge is down and then have a full charge ready to go for the next time and "that" charge appears to hold when I use it.

I have never removed this battery since I bought it and it has received several charges. i try not to leave it on the charger since I have heard, cell batteries in general, do not do well when left on the charger at a full charge.No specific issues with this specific battery however.

As like anything else that doesn't have an auto shut-off, Yes, it will continue to use Power while charging at the same time!Always remember to turn it off!It will still charge, but, it'll take quite a bit longer with it on than off!I hope this clears things up for you.

Lithium ion cells dont have memory like nicds. No need to drain then fully charge. Use it as you want straight out of the box

yes, the battery I received had some charge. It did not take very long to charge it fully.

I plug the camera in before the occasion. Sometimes an hour or two, sometimes overnight. The battery has held out just fine each time I have used it if it is charged, but I've yet to use it for an all day event so I can't say how long it lasts. It certainly doesn't deplete quickly if that's a concern. I have not timed the charging process, but a couple of hours is sufficient to return to full capacity from near zero.

I don't know exactly, I just plug it, and leave it. whenever I remember it, I take it off the charge, and it'll be fully charged! If you put it in charge with less than %5 battery life, it'll take longer to be fully charged. I usually charge it whenever I use it, I plug it before I sleep, next morning will be fully charged!

Not entirely sure I understand your question, Ann. Do you mean does half full battery mean the battery is half charged? I would presume so. My first Commando II literally "ate" my battery charge almost as fast as I could charge it. Turned out the phone was the problem. I learned that AFTER purchasing an extended life battery. I also bought a new phone. Now with the extended life battery and new phone, I can get up to 2 days run on it. Happy, happy, joy, joy.Mike

The batteries have no memory and can be charged anytime. My batteries have lasted 40 minutes or so with normal use.

I believe lithium batteries do not have the memory problems other rechargeables do, so you can recharge them before they are fully drained.

As far as I know, it should stop charging the battery when it's full. I'm planning on getting an extra battery to swap during trimming. After leaving in my battery for a full charge over a week, I didn't notice any drop in performance.

It has been traditionally thought that lithium batteries do not exhibit memory effect but here is a link to an article that might challenge that thought. http://phys.org/news/2013-04-memory-effect-lithium-ion-batteries.html

yes. the battery is not a memory battery you should never charge it for more than 24hrs and if it sits for a long time without use you need to charge it ever 30 days or so (like in the winter) this is what i have read on the battery that was also tru with the original battery that came with the lawn mower.

Yes, to the memory. I upgraded my Toshiba mini to two megabites(?) last year. I bought battery directly from Toshiba online. Sorry I can't answer your other questions.

I refresh at every charge. All it does is drain the battery all the way before it charges. And that is the best way to make batteries last. But there's nothing wrong with just charging up if you need them quickly

NO....it works as well as the original battery.If you use avg. data , good for 3 hrs.....Less data 4-6hrs.
