Rechargeable battery technology
Rechargeable battery technology has moved on in leaps and bounds in recent years. However, most rechargeable batteries still suffer from one significant drawback – if left uncharged for a period of time, even if they aren’t being used, their charge will slowly leak away, leading to decreased or even no performance when you eventually try to use them.
This is why rechargeable batteries are always uncharged when you first buy them. Battery manufacturers are working on this problem, with some manufacturers now able to produce batteries which can hold their charge for up to a year or more, which makes them a much more attractive option.
