A 1179, A 1257, A 1395 Flex current clamps

Procedure
Notes
Completely
charge
the battery.
Time depends on the battery capacity
(10 – 24 hours)
Completely
discharge
the battery.
Can be performed with normal work with
the A1179/A1257/A1395.
Repeat
the charge / discharge cycle
for at least
two times
.
Four cycles are recommended.
Complete discharge / charge cycle is performed automatically for each cell using
external intelligent battery charger.
Notes:
The charger in the A1179/A1257/A1395 is a pack cell charger. This means that
the battery cells are connected in series during the charging. The battery cells
have to be equivalent (same charge condition, same type and age).
One different battery cell can cause an improper charging and incorrect
discharging during normal usage of the entire battery pack (it results in heating of
the battery pack, significantly decreased operation time, reversed polarity of
defective cell,…).
If no improvement is achieved after several charge / discharge cycles, then each
battery cell should be checked (by comparing battery voltages, testing them in a
cell charger, etc). It is very likely that only some of the battery cells are
deteriorated.
The effects described above should not be mixed with normal decrease of
battery capacity over time. Battery also loses some capacity when it is
repeatedly charged / discharged. Actual decreasing of capacity, versus number
of charging cycles, depends on battery type. It is provided in the technical
specification from battery manufacturer.
