solution for avoiding the memory effect is to use in turn two battery sets: one in use, and the
other as a spare set.
The memory effect can be easily eliminated by completely discharging/charging the batteries 3 or
4 times.
The memory effect should not be confused with the normal battery life, which is 400 cycles of
charge/discharge on average. It is completely normal for operating duty to decrease when the
batteries have reached the end of their life; at this point, you will need to substitute the battery set.
