I have a 1.2 volt 1.3ah rechargeable battery. If I put the battery on charge I often realize a week later I forgot to turn it off. The battery has gotten so it needs to stay on the charger all the time to be charged. When I use the battery is seems like it has a full charge but it is dead in only a few minutes. If I remove the battery from the charger and do not use it, it will be dead on its own in a very short time. This is my 3rd new battery. I think maybe a week on the charger is screwing up the new battery? I can't remember how many times I forgot to turn off the battery and it charged for 1 or 2 weeks.
I never know how much power is left in the new battery so there is no way to know how long it needs to be charged?
Maybe a 1 hour time would work to turn the charger off when I forget to turn it off but is 1 hour the correct charge time?
And automatic circuit that keeps the battery from over charging would be best?
I am open for suggestions.
