Default Re: Nikon Battery question

Mike,

That is correct. I rarely let my batteries run out. I tend to recharge following a shooting session and start the next one with fresh batteries and I carry three sets of batteries with me.

I know what that article says, but my recollection is that many batteries today wear out in the 15o to 2oo charge cycle range, but I also do not recall whether this figure applies to nickel metal hydride batteries or to lithium ion batteries. the exact chemistry and electrical polarization effect makes the difference.

Tom
