Conditioning a Battery in the Charger

1.Place the battery into the charger.

2.Press the right button on the charger (marked with a curved arrow). The red light on the left will go out and the green light on the right will start to blink. This indicates that the battery is being condi- tioned. The conditioning cycle may last for up to 7 hours, depending on the remaining charge in the battery.

3.When the conditioning cycle is completed, a charging cycle will automatically start, indicated by the red light turning on and the flashing green light going out. The battery is discharged to 12V before charging begins.

4.When the battery has reached full charge, the green light will illuminate indicating a fully charged battery is ready.

Conditioning a Battery Manually

To condition a DCI battery pack, you simply need a low-wattage 12V light (such as a small automotive side light or an interior light bulb) and electrical wires to connect the battery pack to the light as shown.

The length of time required to condition a NiCad battery manually can range from 1 to 7 hours. The battery should not be discharged beyond 12V. Measure the voltage across the light to confirm the battery is discharged to no lower than 12V.
