The memory effect alters the battery\u2019s voltage levels to shrink over time, where the battery \u201cforgets\u201d the highs and lows it doesn\u2019t often charge to. Typically, the best battery for solar lights (with a properly-sized system) will discharge about 15% every day.<\/p>\n<p>Plus, cadmium is a\u00a0<b>highly toxic metal<\/b>\u00a0which defeats one of the purposes of solar lights\u2013to reduce the environmental impact that the use of energy may have. Many NiCd batteries even have &#8220;POISON&#8221; stamped across the top.
