2. Battery charger - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battery_charger

   A simple charger typically does not alter its output based on charging time or the charge on the battery. This simplicity means that a simple charger is inexpensive, but there are tradeoffs. Typically, a carefully designed simple charger takes longer to charge a battery because it is set to use a lower (i.e., safer) charging rate.

3. Memory effect - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Memory_effect

   Memory effect, also known as battery effect, lazy battery effect, or battery memory, is an effect observed in nickel-cadmium rechargeable batteries that causes them to hold less charge. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] It describes the situation in which nickel-cadmium batteries gradually lose their maximum energy capacity if they are repeatedly recharged after ...

4. Trickle charging - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trickle_charging

   Trickle charging is the process of charging a fully charged battery at a rate equal to its self-discharge rate, enabling the battery to remain at its fully charged level. This state occurs almost exclusively when the battery is not loaded, as trickle charging will not keep a battery charged if current is being drawn by a load.

5. Laptop - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laptop

   When the battery is fully charged, the laptop continues to run on power supplied by the external power supply, avoiding battery use. If the used power supply is not strong enough to power computing components and charge the battery simultaneously, the battery may charge in a shorter period of time if the laptop is turned off or sleeping.

6. Depth of discharge - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Depth_of_discharge

   the fraction of the battery's capacity which is currently removed from the battery with regard to its (fully) charged state. For fully charged batteries, the depth of discharge is connected to the state of charge by the simple formula =. The depth of discharge then is the complement of state of charge: as one increases, the other decreases.

7. Charge cycle - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charge_cycle

   A "charge cycle" is not a unit of time; the length of time spent charging or discharging does not affect the number of charge cycles. [1] Each battery is affected differently by charge cycles. [2] [3] In general, number of cycles for a rechargeable battery (the cycle life) indicates how many times it can undergo the process of complete charging ...
