Cycle life time The useful life of a nickel-cadmium or nickel-metal hydride battery can be expressed either in number of cycles before end of life or in units of time. Experience and laboratory test data show that cycle life depends on depth of discharge and temperature. When performing a fast charge, cycle life is also a factor of the way end-of-charge detection is achieved.

Capacity, measured in terms of ampere-hours or milliampere-hours, depends on several factors, i.e., cell size, cell design and construction, charge effectiveness, temperature, open circuit time, discharge rate, final voltage and cell history.

The charge retention curves shown here are based on storage at various temperatures. The self-discharge rate is a function of temperature and cell technology. Storage at higher temperatures will reduce charge retention.
