Batteries

Good news: I got the villager amiibo! The store was smart enough to keep them behind the counter, so there were still enough left, even though I came later than most. Sadley, this post will be short, as I have much homework. But hey, it's still here, right?
So, how about those batteries? Specifically lithium Ion batteries.  Many people are under the impression that LI batteries can get what's called a "memory". A battery memory is basically when a battery life continues to get worse due to the fact that it is charged to much. This, to my knowledge, isn't true. A memory is actually the result of crystal formation inside the battery. Because of this, there is less room for energy to be stored, resulting in less battery life over time. While this can occur in some batteries, LI batteries function in a way that makes this a non-issue. This isn't to say that LI batteries can't get worse battery life over time though. Battery life will get worse as a battery is used, as it is being worn down over time. The simple solution to this is to swap out your battery once every 1 or 2 years. I'm doing this with my Nexus 5, as the battery life is terrible (I don't use the thing during the day because I'm at school, and it comes out at 50% at 3:00 in standby.) So yeah. Batteries. They help life.

I'm just glad it's the undead we're fighting and not Trolkin!
