For new NiMH batteries, it is necessary to cycle them three to five times before they reach peak performance. Battery cycling can be achieved simply by using the batteries and recharging them or using the charger's built-in conditioner.
What is Conditioning?
The conditioning feature rejuvenates your batteries and will eliminate the memory effect on certain batteries. It automatically discharges and then recharges your batteries. For NiMH batteries, condition the batteries once for every ten charges.
Indicator Condition:
- Red - rapid charging
- Green - charge completed
- Yellow Flashing - conditioning
- Red Flashing - bad battery
Car kit for charging batteries in your car is optional. See MHS-DC-124. |
