Servicing The Battery Pack
The Condition and Calibrate cycle is used to update the Battery Pack Data Record stored in the Dolphin Battery
Pack. This cycle will record battery conditions during a charge and discharge cycle and store these values in the
battery pack. These values will be used to minimize errors associated with rechargeable batteries such as battery
wear out, voltage depression, and self discharge. As a general rule, battery packs should be calibrated once a month.
To service the battery packs, simply insert all the batteries that require servicing into the charging pockets and press
the yellow "Condition and Calibrate" button located below the POWER button on the Dolphin Multiple Battery
Charger.
The Dolphin Multiple Battery Charger will then totally discharge and fully recharge the battery pack, automatically.
This cycle requires approximately 8 hours to complete. The ORANGE status LED will begin to flash in sync with
the LED associated with the “Condition and Calibrate” switch. Any batteries inserted after the “Condition and
Calibrate” switch has been depressed will receive a standard charge.
Because the Dolphin Multiple Battery Charger is accumulating battery pack information during the entire “Condition
and Calibrate” cycle, it is important not to remove the battery until the cycle has been completed. A complete cycle
is indicated by a GREEN status LED. Once all batteries have completed the “Condition and Calibrate” cycle, the
FLASHING LED associated with the “Condition and Calibrate” switch will turn off. At this point, if desired, another
“Condition and Calibrate” cycle can be initiated.
