4.5.4 Battery Maintenance
We recommend discharging the battery packs completely from time to time to preserve their capacity.
Pressing the discharge button (5,
) discharges the battery. After completely discharging the battery, which
in some cases can take several hours, the charger automatically switches to the charge mode. Once the battery
is fully charged, the battery charger switches over to pulse trickle charging.
The battery pack is tested for defects before the charging process begins. During the charging cycle, the battery
pack status is continuously monitored to prevent overcharging.
