Calibrating a Battery Pack
Three steps are involved in calibrating the battery pack: fully charging, fully discharging, and then fully recharging.
When to Calibrate
Even if a battery pack is heavily used, calibration should be necessary only once a month. You do not have to calibrate a new battery pack.
Calibration does not usually increase battery run time, but it can increase the accuracy of battery charge displays, especially under the following conditions:
■When the battery pack has been unused for one month or more.
■When you notice a significant change in battery run time.
■When battery charge displays seem inaccurate.
For more information about battery charge displays, refer to the “Monitoring the Battery Pack Charge” section earlier in this chapter.
