NiMh batteries do not have a memory but they do discharge faster when
sitting
unplugged. In my Thinkpad 750 (for which I have one NiCd and two NiMh
batteries)
the NiCd looses < 5% of its charge overnight and the NiMh batteries
loose around
15% per night. YMMV

| (...) When I bought a mobile phone (or cellular if you like), the sales guy said that the NiMH didn't suffer from the memory effect like NiCad batteries do. But that was from a sales person - not necessarily reliabe info! cheers chris (27 years ago, 16-Jun-97, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)
