Conditioning the MAC 1600 Battery Pack
To maintain the storage capacity of the battery installed in the MAC

months to recalibrate its electronic fuel gauge. A condition cycle consists
of an uninterrupted “charge-discharge-charge” cycle.
Use the following instructions to condition the MAC 1600 battery.
1. Insert the battery into a MAC 1600 unit that is not being used to
record patient tests.
