Battery Rejection
If the Fault indicator on the Battery Status Display flashes (see Figure 4) and is
not in condition, the battery is faulty or damaged. If the battery is still within its
warranty period, contact the original manufacturer of the battery pack.
See Troubleshooting table for actions to be taken. If the rejected indicator
continues to flash the battery should be removed and disposed of properly.
Conditioning the Battery
To condition a battery exhibiting a decrease in capacity, insert the battery into
the charger and hold down the "CONDITION" cycle button for two seconds (see
Figure 4). 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 20
hours to complete.
Note:
This cycle should only be used on NiCD/NiMH batteries and only 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, your battery may have
exceeded its usable life and may need replacement. Most batteries have a
usable life of approximately 500 charge/discharge cycles. This number varies
depending on use and battery cell manufacturer.
