Detach the battery packing from the charger when the charge is completed.
[Refreshing the battery]
The use time shortens gradually by the phenomenon of “Effect of the memory” when the
NiMH battery leaves capacity and repeats the charge. The voltage recovers after
refreshing and the use time returns normally in such a battery. Please refresh one degree
every five times of the charge.
[Refreshing]
Set the battery in the charger as well as the case of the charge. Push the electrical
discharge button. The electrical discharge lamp lights and the electrical discharge begins.
The electrical discharge lamp is turned off when the electrical discharge ends, the charge
lamp lights, and the charge starts automatically. Leave just as it is until the charge is
completed. When the charge is completed, the charge lamp is turned off. Detach the
battery from the charger.
[Time of refreshing and charge]
Battery BP02 is discharged from the state of a full charge at about 960 minutes and the
charge is completed from the electrical discharge at about 130 minutes. However, the
electrical discharge time is proportional to the remainder capacity of the battery.
Moreover, the time required for refreshing might be different from the above-mentioned
time according to a surrounding temperature and the state of the battery.
