Conditioning the Battery
(Nickel-based Battery Packs Only)
To condition a battery exhibiting a decrease in capacity, insert the battery into the
charger and push and release the “CONDITION” button. The charger performs a
complete (100%) discharge of the battery and recharges it to full available capacity,
eliminating conditions that may cause it to perform below its rated capacity. This deep
discharge cycle may take up to 15 hours to complete.
Note: The condition cycle should only be used once every several weeks. Performing
the conditioning cycle on a daily or weekly basis shortens the usable life of the battery.
If conditioning the battery fails to eliminate the problem, the battery may have
exceeded its usable life and may need replacement. Most batteries have a usable life
of approximately 500 charge/discharge cycles under normal use.
Battery Rejection
If the Fault indicator on the Battery Status Display flashes, the battery is faulty
or damaged. If the battery is still within its warranty period, contact your local
Representative or Customer Service for replacement information.
See Troubleshooting table on page 12 for actions to be taken. If the rejected indicator
continues to flash the battery should be removed and disposed of in accordance with
local regulations.
