Reconditioning the Battery Pack
Warning: Read the warnings in Battery Management (page 161)
before performing this operation.
Battery reconditioning is the process of first discharging and then
recharging batteries. It reduces the undesirable memory effect in the
Ni-Cad battery. The battery pack should be reconditioned the first
time it is used and at least once a month thereafter to prevent battery
degradation. The recondition process will take up to two hours,
depending on initial battery charge.
Caution: If the battery pack is not reconditioned the first time it is
used, the battery charge displayed may be incorrect.
