Battery Memory Effect
Rechargeable batteries can develop a “memory” (reduced charge capacity) caused by repeated
charge and discharge cycles.
Rechargeable batteries that have developed this effect will not operate to their fullest capacity.
To Avoid Memory Effect: Operate the unit until the Rechargeable Battery is completely discharged
before recharging. Do not “top off” the charge after using for a short time.
Also, do not charge the Rechargeable Battery for extended periods of time.
To Erase Memory Effect: Operate the unit until the Rechargeable Battery is completely discharged,
then recharge fully. Repeat this process at least three (3) times.
