Is it better to completely drain my rechargeable batteries every time?

Do Sanyo Eneloop rechargeable batteries have to be fully drained prior to recharging?

  • Well i use these Sanyo Eneloop batteries for my Canon Camera. To be honest Eneloops are the best compared to Camelion Alwaysready which i used prior to Eneloops. Do i need to fully drain the eneloop batteries prior to Recharging for next time use? Please advise....

  • Answer:

    No. Unlike Ni-Cad batteries, Ni-MH do not have issues with "memory" (depressed voltage).

Absolutely not! Doing so runs the risk of reverse charging one of the cells which will cause early failure of the battery. NiMH batteries are happy charging at any time and it's best to keep them fully charged so you're ready to take photos at a moments notice.

they can be charged when you want to charge them they are good batteries
