long should a rechargeable battery last? The life of a
rechargeable battery operating under normal conditions should be
between 500 to 800 charge-discharge cycles. This translates into
one and a half to three years of battery life for the average
user. As your rechargeable battery begins to die, you will
notice a decline in the running time of the battery. When your
two hour battery is only supplying you with twenty minutes worth
of use, it is time for a new one. When a battery is not used for
extensive periods of time it should be removed from the device
and stored in a cool, dry and clean environment. Self-discharge
will occur when the battery is not used for an extended time
period. Fully charge the battery before use after storage. Long
term storage will have permanent effects on the battery's
capacity.
