Why did my battery fail

There are two main reasons as to why batteries fail when well looked after, one is a gradual degradation of the active material that forms the battery and the other reason is separator failure. Separator failure is much more common and results in a shorted call. The battery will self-discharge in a few days if this is the problem. The degradation of the cell us just part of the normal ageing process of cycling the battery. To avoid these problems it is best to NOT cycle your batteries after EVERY charge.
