Re: [Paddlewise] Electrodynamic hydropurgation devices

Sealed batteries for motorcycles, lawn tractors, etc. don't develop a memory
effect.  They are rarely, if ever, fully discharged and go through the same
discharge and recharge cycles that any non-sealed battery does in the same
kind of application.

Batteries that develop memory effects are intended to be fully discharged
before being recharge and no vehicle application would ever be expected to
be totally discharged before being recharged.  Memory effect is typically
associated with NiCad batteries.
