You may think because your older model is useless as it loses charge, almost as soon as you did connect from the vehicle or charge point. Well many used the NiCD or lead acid batteries with a "sort of memory thingy"

It is true, to a certain amount, but there are ways to actually beat them, and it will cost you nothing and prolong the life of "dead rechargeable" batteries.

It is quite easy really and you do not have to be that smart to do it. All you have to do is. Really make sure the battery is dead. Leave it connected to your item. If it shows any life, , just keep on making sure it is dead. (you could connect a bulb or anything that will really make it dead. When totally flat. Then you can recharge it, and it regains it's potential and acts like it used to. My example was my dad's lantern. He left it switched on, but was dead 5 years before we cleared house. Lantern charged up, and runs fine for 9 hours. Try the same, but do not wait until your dad dies. Dave and a few others know what I did for a living in the past, covering chemistry, battery physics, distribution and some covert things
