New Batteries Initial State

   New Batteries: Initial State

New rechargeable batteries come in a discharged condition and must be charged before use (refer to the manual for specific charging instructions).

Conditioning your batteries

·         Upon initial use (or after a prolonged storage period) batteries may require three to four charge/discharge cycles (often called conditioning/reconditioning) before achieving maximum capacity.

How often should I condition my batteries?

·         It is important to condition (fully discharge and then fully charge) the battery every two to three weeks. Failure to do so can significantly shorten the battery's life.

How do I condition my batteries?

·         Completely discharge the batteries (simply running your flashlight until the batteries are completely discharged will usually suffice). Then recharge the battery as instructed in the user's manual.
