Three major factors affect the performance of NiCadbatteries: temperature, voltage depression,

prevent the
Voltage depression is a condition which reduces battery performance, particularly when charging
the defibrillator. This condition is often mistakenly called "memory." Voltage depression
can
usually
be reversed by reconditioning the battery every 3 monthsasdescribed in Figure 9-1 on page 9-10.
Voltage depression is
caused
by either 1) repeatedly attempting to add more charge to a
fully-charged or a nearly fully-charged battery, or 2) extended charging at temperatures above the
maximum
recommended
25.5°C
(78°F).

self-discharges approximately 1% of its capacity each day when stored at roomtemperature. Inten

The actual battery self-discharge rate depends on:
