Nickel Metal Hydride (NiMH) batteries often will need to be
cycled 3-5 times to reach peak performance and capacity.
To get the most out of your NiMH batteries keep them
charging when not in use and cycle them every 3-4 months.
Use certified cables for the device you are charging.
For larger devices like cell phones we recommend
batteries. They have more capacity then AAA batteries.
