Conditioning Battery Packs
In order to extend battery life, battery packs should be conditioned periodically. The NC series Quad Chargers are equipped with a "Condition" mode, which fully discharges a battery pack followed by a full charge cycle. Conditioning NiCad battery packs once a week is recommended for optimum performance of batteries.
